Thing Three

Skype!~~~

I cannot believe my favorite childhood cartoon is happening...Skype is The Jetsons come true!! OMG!! It is so neat that the future is here. It is only the beginning and it's really good. Skype can be used is just about every lesson, every subject and well just about everyday in the classroom. It is the way of the future. In my classroom, the first thing that came to mind is being able to connect with other students and other teachers. We study about different countries and it would be AMAZING to speak with children from Egypt, Ireland or Italy. What a neat, real and accurate experience this will be! We also study authors like Eric Carle. For a super famous author...it is really expensive for them to come visit...but maybe, just maybe, a skype conference could happen. I believe Skype is the way education is going. Grad school programs on-line are becoming very high tech. I'm so glad to be learning and can't wait to participate!
