I Love Skype Too!

I have to ditto Laura's comment on being thankful for skype. My husband travels ALOT and in my first grader's class they have mystery readers every couple of weeks. Well because of skype my husband was able to read a book as he sat on the beach in Florida to my daughter's first grade class in Missouri. The kids thought it was awesome! In an Imagine Tomorrow class we teach the kids that computers are not just for games but they are to be used for as a tool for communication, gathering information etc. I have carried on this philosophy with my own kids and using the skype in class was just another reinforcement on how technology can be used a tool for communication for me kids.
