Thing 3

The Blogs and articles about Skype and VOI's like Skype were excellent. I particularly related to the comments on class management when things go wrong with technology. I would imagine that early trials would need a back up activity at the ready.
The cross cultural aspects are amazing to contemplate, but for me starting a little closer to home, perhaps with a dramatically different grade level (3rd talking to 7th) who is learning the same topic ( volcanoes, come to mind) might be a little easier.
One of the commentors mentioned how the show and tell lesson format worked really well with the camera, I've a feeling like all things new it is best to start simple and expand from there. The key is to start!
