Skyping to Solve a Problem

This is a great article about using Skype in the classroom to enhance instruction. I particularly love the idea of the kids skyping with other kids in different schools. Instead of using partners in their own class to help solve a challenging math problem, how about partnering the kids with other students from a different school?! We know the benefits of getting kids to vocalize their thinking during the problem solving process. This would be a great incentive for them. http://www.tech4ed.com/2011/06/15/5-ways-to-use-skype/#comment-180
