<p style="text-align: left;">We’ve been using Skype for nearly a decade now to communicate with our friends and family all over the world by voice, video and instant message for free. As teachers, we’ve always contemplated the possibilities this technology could open up, but ladies and gentlemen, it appears that we’ve been living under a rock for some time now.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">We’ve been using Skype for nearly a decade now to communicate with our friends and family all over the world by voice, video and instant message for free. As teachers, we’ve always contemplated the possibilities this technology could open up, but ladies and gentlemen, it appears that we’ve been living under a rock for some time now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Allow us to introduce <a href="https://education.skype.com/">Skype in the Classroom</a>, a collaborative space where users can <b>connect and collaborate with businesses, non-profit organizations, scholars and experts across the globe</b>—even those at the top of Mount Everest! We’ll get to this in a minute.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Once you head over to the site, you can <b>narrow your search</b> by culture, geography, history, languages, math and science to name a few. Once you’ve found your niche, browse away. Here are a few opportunities that stuck out to us:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b><img id="img-1360345660860" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/skype-in-the-Classroom.jpg" alt="skype in the Classroom" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" name="img-1360345660860" border="0" width="141" height="211"/>For English and Art Teachers <br/></b> We’ve talked about <a href="http://onlinegrad.marygrove.edu/blog/bid/169586/Make-Writing-Less-Intimidating-with-these-5-Digital-Storytelling-Apps">digital storytelling</a> and using <a href="http://onlinegrad.marygrove.edu/blog/bid/151985/What-Does-Superman-Know-About-Classroom-Technology">comic-book generators</a> to make writing less intimidating for our students, but what if you were to supplement these activities by <b>Skyping with a real graphic novelist—for <em>free</em>?</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Meet Stephen McCranie, a graphic novelist of an all-ages graphic novel series (published by Penguin) called <a href="http://malandchad.com/">Mal and Chad.</a> If you sign up for one of his <b>25-minute Skype sessions</b>, your students will watch McCranie sketch out his digital comic and learn “fundamental ideas about storytelling and drawing, and how both are essential to making great comics.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At the end, McCranie runs a Q and A and takes a drawing request from the audience which he signs, turns into a PDF, and sends to your class!<br/><br/><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b><img id="img-1360345703572" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/Skype-in-the-Classroom2.jpg" alt="Skype in the Classroom2" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" name="img-1360345703572" border="0" width="171" height="114"/>For History and Science Teachers<br/></b> Everyone should see Yellowstone National Park in their lifetime, but it’s unlikely that you’ve got enough fairy dust to make it happen for your class. Thanks to <a href="https://education.skype.com/users/24268-yellowstone-ranger-beth">Beth</a>, a park ranger at Yellowstone, your students can visit the <b>world’s first national park</b> through Skype.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">During their session, your students will learn more about the wildlife, geology and cultural history the park preserves. Beth is open to “almost any type of program” you’d like to set up and will even play "interview a ranger" or "guess that park," a mystery Skype game.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img id="img-1360345778946" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/Skype-in-the-Classroom3.jpg" alt="Skype in the Classroom3" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" name="img-1360345778946" border="0" width="177" height="177"/>Noteworthy opportunities for using Skype in the classroom</strong><br/> Want to physically climb Mount Everest? Neither do we, but we’d be more than happy to use Skype to join explorer <a href="https://education.skype.com/projects/4253-use-skype-to-join-explorer-mark-wood-on-his-everest-adventure">Mark Wood on his Everest adventure</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In March 2013, Wood will be leading an expedition through the Nepalese side of the Himalayas in an attempt to summit Mount Everest and he’s looking for <b>10 schools from 10 different countries</b> to watch him do it</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>If your class is selected, your students will not only get to watch the ascent, they’ll also learn</strong> about the problems the Nepalese people face because of climate change. In addition to this, students will hear a climate specialist talk about the shifting glaciers and how they impact the local people as well as the rest of the planet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We’ve only scratched the surface here, so stop by <a href="https://education.skype.com/">Skype in the Classroom</a> and explore the endless Skyping opportunities for your students and yourself!</p>

<p><strong>Activity Summary</strong></p>
<p><span><span class="a">Students will connect, collaborate and communicate with their counterparts around the world to learn </span><span class="a">or work on <span class="l6">projects. They will share perspectives about issues concerning themselves or <span class="l6">the world </span></span></span><span class="a">at large. In an environment of learning beyond borders <span class="l6">students also learn social skills and develop </span></span><span class="a">a better intercultural understanding of each other<span class="l6">. Web 2.0 tools and <span class="l7">technology like Wikispaces </span></span></span><span class="a">and Skype are used <span class="l7">to create a common platform for interaction and <span class="l6">sharing of ideas or opinions </span></span></span><span class="a">with each other<span class="l6">. This, helps to develop a <span class="l7">sense of connectedness and friendship with others in <span class="l7">their </span></span></span></span><span class="a">pursuit of sharing and learning from each <span class="l6">other. Some of the projects undertaken by <span class="l6">the students, so </span></span></span><span class="a">far, <span class="l6">are the ‘Green T<span class="l">ourism’ Project and ‘Global Storytelling’. In addition, impromptu Skype lessons </span></span></span><span class="a">incorporated into ‘Internationalisation’ also serve as a powerful way for students to learn about other </span><span class="a">people’s cultures or participate in their ongoing lessons in the classrooms.</span></span></p> SkypePlay A world of Play.

<div><strong><font size="2">The purpose of this #Kinderchat PlayProject is to play in real time with other children in other places. 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. </font></strong></div>

<p></p>
<p>The joy of acquiring a powerful tool for learning can often lead to abuse before reaching maturity (exploitation) This can be avoided with the use of new techniques such as webquests where students divided into teams follow a certain pattern of research in order to produce the final product which might be in written form or an oral presentation</p>
<p>An example will be given where students were asked to create the best possible space city. Info was googled within in the classroom since all students have their personal tablet in class.(Our school has introduced the 1:1 process in primary and high school since 2009).Each group posted in <strong>Edmodo</strong> their initial work and proposal and I commented on it sending useful feedback and links.</p>
<p>Questions raised by the students were answered by the space expert Dr Alexander Martynov via Skype and the whole project was posted and assessed by the students themselves on the educational platform Edmodo, <a href="http://www.edmodo.com/">www.edmodo.com</a> where I have started a discussion at first and then posted a poll.This is only an example ,variouw projects can also be posted in the plattform and students get really excited by sharing thoughts and ideas with their friends via an interactive way.</p>
<p>The level of student motivation in this project was also indicated by the fact that the students took the initiative to contact Dr Martynov <strong>themselves</strong>. All info was found on a simple internet site.</p>
