Where Can You Use Skype?Skype in The Classrooms
A Few of the Many Ways To Use Skype in the Classroom Author Visits & Guest Lectures
(Have author's & guest lecturers come to your classroom via Skype.)
Pen Pal Projects with Students All Over The World (No longer just pen and paper communication, you can Skype with partner classrooms across the country or across the world. You can also arrange book discussions that demonstrate the different perspectives of readers from different places and cultures.)
Parent / Teacher Conferences (Whether a parent has to miss a regular conference or a concern comes up that requires speaking with a parent, Skype can provide an opportunity to connect with a parent that may not otherwise be available for a conference.)
Professional Development (Reach out to national education experts whose travel would typically blow out your budget or set up inter-district conferences to compare notes with schools and districts who have found success facing similar challenges.)
Where Can You Use Skype?Skype in The Classrooms
A Few of the Many Ways To Use Skype in the Classroom
Connect Special Needs Students(Students who may have to be out of the classroom due to special needs or IEP requirements don’t have to miss any special events in the classroom with Skype.)
Foreign Culture Lessons. (Skype allows students to see first hand what people’s homes, schools, clothing, weather, and more looks like. If a festival takes place, Skype can bring it to your classroom too.)
Field Trips (If students aren’t able to participate in a field trip due to factors such as budgetary or distance constraints, use Skype to bring the field trip into the classroom.)
Share Students’ Work With Parents (Let parents get a first-hand look at what their children are doing with Skype.)
