My Skype username is brenda_willingham. Skype is a great tool to connect with other classrooms within the same school or county. Skype is not blocked in our county.
It is also free! It allows students and teachers to connect collaboratively with others and work on joint projects. I sent out requests to other teachers in this cohort to add to my contacts. It is my goal to join forces with other teachers and classes to work on cooperative projects.
There are many classes on Skype looking for "pen pals". Some are looking for partners in a particular location such as Australia or another country that the students are studying. Some offer field trips or learning a particular skill. Skype is a great tool for schools or families. Many individuals skype family and friends. However, our family connects with most often with Facetime. I have used Facetime with another teacher in my county to work on an English 9 “Edgar Allan Poe” unit.
