Skype in the Classroom

Skype in the classroom is the greatest site to include 21st century learning into your classroom.All you have to do is create an account and then you can create your own lessons or you can join lessons that other teachers have already created. My students had an AMAZING time skyping with two first grade classrooms for Read Across America. We skyped with a first grade class from Queen City Academy Charter School and a first grade class from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

We also just finished up our unit on The Wizard of Oz and my students got to skype with a 3rd grade classroom in Wichita, Kansas to learn all about Kansas. My students learned so much from the 3rd graders that they were talking about it for days!

Do you skype in your classrooms? If anyone is interested in skyping my students would LOVE to skype with you! :)  Feel free to leave a comment and I will get back with you.
