2 5th grade classes in Germany use Skype to connect about culture and traditions as well as practice using social media in this capacity. They used Skype to communicate and also documented their learning using other technology.
This Skype project connects students and classrooms from around the world using video conferencing. It is free to sign up for and can connects classrooms based on subject, interests and age.
Although this specific project is older, it is still a great project that could be duplicated. This project uses Skype to connect classrooms around the world.
Skype is also great from bringing students who might be stuck at home due to illness or other situations into the classroom to join the class for a collaborative dialogue or other activity
This is an amazing project where classrooms are connected to authors through services such as Skype! Students don't need to leave the school to meet their favorite writers!
Students drew their monsters and wrote a description of them. Then, they skyped their monster exchange partner to share their description. As they shared their description, their partner would draw what they visualized. The projects turned out very nice! Check it out!
