Neat idea and something you could do...Hey Brandon-<br /><br />Neat idea and something you could do with Skype (or other similar web conferencing systems). Video conferencing could be used to try and get scientists from around the world that are working on current or past events. By spending thirty minutes it gives students a new insight to a world they know little about. Sure, everyone knows what a scientist kind of does, but there are so many things we don't think of behind the scenes. <br /><br />I also like the idea of connecting to schools across the world. This could provide students with the opportunity for a new age pen pal idea (if done on individual computers) or just learning about different environments and culture as a whole. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and asking us what we might do. Really made me think of how useful this could be as an educator in my class.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749928442208352802noreply@blogger.com
