One of the final activities we did this year was skype with our epals in Indiana. This was our first skype experience as a whole class. To prepare for it I skyped the teacher the day before to make sure everything was going to work.
Students began the session by introducing themselves to their epal partner. Then they discussed the novel "Sign of the Beaver." From there the discussion evolved into the students sharing information about their home states. Students learned a lot about each other and the regions we live in.
If I had this to do over again, I would have students skype earlier in the year so they could see their epals face to face.
Wax Museum
Vistors listen to students and view keynotes at the "Wax Museum."
