A Missouri teacher, Ms. Venosdale and her students bring the world -- virtually -- through a project called KnowGlobe. They regularly talk with students on other continents while at the same time learning about time zones, cultural differences, global weather patterns, and the state of education worldwide. If they come up with a project question that requires the expertise of an astronaut, space engineer, or Egyptologist, they ask their teacher to "tweet it out" and track down an expert for a Skype interview. http://greatdaytolearn.com/knowglobe/ Skype in the classroom https://education.skype.com/
