Sylvia Tolisano's bright Idea to Connect Globally. Classrooms use Skype to meet and talk about there locations, cultures and activities. Great way to use Skype for just 5 minutes (or more if you'd like) to make connections for your students and provide them with reasons to write and learn world geography. [|My blog post about it.] [|TV coverage] [|Our Trips to Argentina and New Zealand in one day.]

= = =[| Inclusion]= ====Award winning video produced, written, designed and edited by 4th grade students about how they Skyped a classmate with leukemia that could not attend school into class each day. The video has been downloaded over 500,000 times.====

====Grace is the mother of Christa McCauliffe, the "Teacher in Space" that was killed in the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster. She visited our classroom and it seemed like others should get to participate too ... so we audio-Skyped Grace out to schools in Virginia and New York. Read my blog post and see some photos from the experience as well as links to a podcast and video-cast of the experience. ====
