Skype in the Classroom

Tonight I spent time exploring Skype in the Classroom.  I was amazed at what is available through Skype.  You can schedule author visits, lessons, and interactions with other classrooms around the world.  Surprisingly, I have never Skyped, so I created a Skype account and a Skype in the Classroom profile.  I have not yet scheduled any calls through Skype because I want to spend more time exploring what's available, but I have already discovered a few calls I want to sign up for.  I am very excited about this resource!

    Hi Katie,

    I too am very intrigued by using Skype in the classroom. Using Skype in my classes is a goal of mine for the year. I have a personal Skype account that I use to talk to friends in other parts of the world, but I haven't set up a Skype in the Classroom profile. I have briefly looked at the site and it looks pretty amazing. I think I could definitely find some great Skype opportunities in my US History classroom.
