I love using the Skype video feature. I tried it out with a friend of mine who had a baby not too long ago in Washington D.C. I love not only hearing her and her little newborn, but also getting to see them.
I still keep in contact with the teachers I taught with in Dallas, and I would love to have our classes Skype with each other about different units. We could each have our students create questions to ask the other class. We could Skype once a month about different writing ideas used in the classroom or to discuss literary elements found within class read alouds.
Katy ISD provides different opportunities to Skype with Authors. The district is so large and everyone is excited about doing this that you have to sign up quickly before the spots are taken. The author will inspire students with talking about the writing process and allow for questions. We spoke with Dan Gutman a few years ago and the students were engaged and excited to hear from him.
