This is one of the best technology tools I have found in my short time teaching. I have been using Skype in the classroom now for 3 years and it is an online community that enables thousands of teachers to inspire the next generation of global citizens through transformative learning over Skype. I will be using Skype in the classroom this coming year at Big White! For more information please view below.

Mystery SkypeMystery Skype is an educational game that connects two classrooms who are somewhere in the world. Teachers will know where (and who) they’re calling but students will not. The goal of Mystery Skype is to locate the other class geographically. Students must ask Yes/No formatted questions.

Guest Speakers
Guest Speakers give Skype sessions for classrooms without the need to set up a Skype Lesson page. This is a great option for those with more limited availability as there tend to be fewer requests made of Guest speakers than for Skype lessons.
