    What Empathic Education Is: Reflection and Immersion Empathic Education is a system of education where empathy, the "walking in the shoes of others, " is taught through reflection and immersion. In Empathic Education, students read about empathy, they write about empathy, and they actually delve into the world of others and experience the joy and pain of people who are "not exactly like me."

    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!
