While books and maps were still used, Skype was able to connect these children in a real-time authentic situation They are able to see each others classrooms, listen to one another, and ask questions. These questions often lead to deeper understanding of the similarities and differences we all face. Topics and themes can be prearranged or spontaneous as long as the students are respectful. Skype can open doors to places we can only imagine.
