Hi, Yvonne. What a GREAT story. I'm doing a Future of Education interview on April 9th (<a href="http://www.futureofeducation.com">http://www.futureofeducation.com</a>) on the "long tail" in education, and this experience would be perfect to discuss. Any interest in being a part of that show?<br />
<br />
Another option that might be really fun would be to schedule another interview that could actually involve your students being a part of it. Think that's worth pursuing?

I had 7th graders Skype with medical students for a disease project. They conducted an iSearch, developed questions after researching a disease and interviewed med students from a local medical university. I contacted the librarian at the university and after some work, we were able to skype with experts. It was great! If you have a specific content area you want experts for, inquire with a librarian at your state universities. Right now I am looking for experts for students researching a topic…

If you have a specific content area you want experts for, inquire with a librarian at your state universities. Right now I am looking for experts for students researching a topic of their choice. It much more difficult to find 25 different experts for a variety of topics. Maybe a senior group of some kind. This looks great, Mea.

This looks great, Mea. I am going to share this directory with some teachers and administrators I work with. I'm wondering why they don't call it "Global Collaborations" in Schools, though.

I just concluded a SKYPE debate with my Gt history class(I am in Texas) vs. a class in North Hollywood California. We debated Federalists vs. Democratic Republicans. Although we ran into some audio problems I believe we have it all sorted out for future SKYPE interactions. This was a wonderful experience for my students.

I just concluded a SKYPE debate with my Gt history class(I am in Texas) vs. a class in North Hollywood California. We debated Federalists vs. Democratic Republicans. Although we ran into some audio problems I believe we have it all sorted out for future SKYPE interactions. This was a wonderful experience for my students. I am ready to explore this great learning activity with any history classes that are willing. Your remarks were a little pessimistic. Downloading SKYPE is easy. Getting a simple camera and a PC microphone is no big deal. For anyone who is willing to take a small risk this kind of learning is motivating and fun. Check out my video of this in my profile.

Hello Traci, I teach second grade in Kingston, Tennessee. We are the first classroom to do video conferencing in our school district and we are really enjoying it. I had to come up with some sort of parental release (for live video feed) since no one had ever done it before thus no form for parents to sign. Our Skype name is "Kingston Elementary" if you ever have a classroom want to talk! Thanks!

Skype about what topic? Interested in skype with 8th grade U.S. History students? I have wanted to have a live debate with another history classroom. What do you think about this possibility?

Hi Fabrizio, I think that any opportunity for parents to be involved in the classroom is a great thing, whether it be through using skype at the workplace or dropping in to visit. Either way, you are making your classroom available to others through technology. I also like your idea of using people from other areas of the world to do the same thing. ..more great ideas with Skype. Thanks!
