Kumu Silva and Mrs. Ah Hee’s classes each had an opportunity to Skype with other students today.
The fourth graders began their day by continuing their study of other communities with a Skype visit to a fourth grade class in Boston. We learned many interesting things about our Boston friends including:
They are 6 hours ahead of us! It was 8 am for us and 2 pm for them.
It was around 40 degrees! Brrrrrr!
There were many Red Sox fans among the students.
They study Spanish at their school.
The fifth graders continued their collaboration with their Baltimore friends by Skyping in small groups. The Baltimore and Hawaii students are participating in a variety of projects in small groups. Today they got to see their small group partners face to face and ask them a few questions. They will continue their collaboration in the next few months using a neat educational tool called Edmodo that enables them to communicate, collaborate, and share projects online.

One Response to More Skyping, Yippee!
