I went ahead and set up a Skype account because I would love to communicate with authors or other classroooms to discuss our curriculum. I also set up a Wallwisher wall page on
www.wallwisher.com/wall/DRCOOL. I would like to use this in the fall as a blog page for one of my students to be in charge of posting the homework every morning so students and parents can access that information from home in the evening.
Good idea on posting the homework on wallwisher...you can even hot link to google docs you have for students.
ReplyDeleteI have a list of authors that will skype for free with a classroom and you can talk about writing style....specific things. I think this may be better than bringing authors in...I am also beginning to work with some professors at univerisities so that we could talk to them through skype...
