Skype gives us a chance to get outside of our campus. One of the things I will share more with teachers next year are sites that offer free skype visits - including "skype an author". There are tons of resources out there...you just need to step out and contact them!

Tool #7
I have worked with teachers to accomplish getting out of our school This next school year I think this will explode as we work with the Oliver Foundation, Fuel to Play 60 and other national level programs. As a librarian, I work with the teachers to support their needs. I help them to find the sources and people to work with rather than scripting my own lesson. I joined e-pals as a way to meet students at other campuses that are similar to ours. So far we have not matched up...but hopefully next year will be better.

I'll be interested to see how ePals works for you. I have never been successful at making a connection there. However, the directory at Skype at Schools has been good and I hope the new Skype in the Classroom will offer even more!
