Skype in the classroom


On March 28th, 2009 Michelle Cochran’s K-12 Reading Teacher class used Skype (http://www.skype.com/) as an instructional compliment. Michelle explained “We have one learner participating in the class from Afghanistan where she is stationed with the military. She joined us for the first time via skype!”

Michelle has been taking the GPDE 5190 course on Facilitating Blended Learning. She is also setting up a wiki page for the K-12 Reading Teacher course so Rachel Ryba, along with the other students, can continue to be involved in effective ways.

Michelle Cochran took this photo (below) during class while Shelley Jerviss was talking about a book/video, and showing it to Rachel via Skype. Rachel Ryba is in Afghanistan, she is a teacher at the Winona Middle School.
