This week in my graduate class, I learned and read a lot about video conferencing, I learned that when you video conference, you can communicate with people, face to face, but on the computer. This could give us the opportunity to make new friends across the world and communicate with them in different ways,
One program that I learned a lot about was called Mystery Skype. On this program I will find a teaching partner, and we will communcate to that teacher and their students. It will be like having learning buddies that live somewhere else.
What I want you to do is write some ideas of things that we can do with our learning buddies. Of course we will have to keep this educational. :) Would you want to read a book together and talk about it, We could discuss and present different holidays and traditions we each have. We could discuss news that effects us. Those are just a few ideas. I want to hear yours.
Mystery Skype is going to help us make new friends that live different lives than ours, and our friends could possibly live in a different country than us. I am so excited to start a new way of learnig with you all, and I can't wait to hear your ideas.
