Skype- A Simple way to Transform Learning with Technology

1/15/2015

2nd grade students at Martin City Elementary participated in a Skype session with author Cindy Lou Aillaud, writer of the book Recess at 20 below. Students took turns reading portions of the book to Ms. Aillaud and then asked her questions about life in Alaska.

Skype sessions like this are becoming more and more common in the district as teachers realize the potential of such activities. Later this week 1st grade students at Belvidere will be Skyping with a scientist. If you are interested in the potential for using Skype in your classroom, you should check out the Skype in the Classroom website. Don't know where to start?

That’s exactly how I felt all weekend long! “This is such a great town. I have such great friends.
Sadly, I missed many of the dishes you posted above, no doubt, because I was too busy gabbing and not focused enough on the task at hand: EATING EVERYTHING

Our art teachers recently did a project where all the students made colorful butterflies and then Costa Blanca they attached them all to a bulletin board in the shape of a GIANT butterfly. Might be a cool way to display them

Hi all, some really great comments and thoughts from everyone here, thanks so much, we appreciate it. It sounds like the consensus is that the approach we took was the right one. If the comment was a bit more extreme to include swearing and abuse then taking it down might be the right way to go, but as it stands it's an angry criticism and in the spirit of social media, one that should be addressed rather than deleted.

Thanks again everyone, should this come up again we'll take the same approach with the added confidence that plenty of smart people agree it's the right one.
