    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.

    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!

Florida: The Connected Educator | CTQ - 0 views

  • “Convincing others of the importance of global citizenship…push back from others who do not value global education. Another challenge is the amount of time and flexibility that is required to conduct and sustain global projects without them fizzling out over time.”
    • Sharin Tebo
       
      such a challenge, yet well-worth the undertaking
  • global education includes projects which incorporate exchange with classrooms across the world; traveling abroad with students; organizing middle school students’ participation in a junior Model United Nations national conference in New York City; hosting students and teachers from various countries, such as Spain, Germany and China; and volunteering in Costa Rica for three weeks to run an afterschool technology program.
  • there cannot be a single universal blueprint for designing a collaborative learning space
