Building on traditional Skype projects like MysterySkype and Skyping in experts, this moves into giving children a peer to peer audience for their play that provides immediate interaction, collaboration, and conversation. And so, a network of Kindergarten classes are connecting globally, building relationships, exploring geography, and discovering that while everyone might have their own place in the world, we all love to play.
