Chad, I use Skype personally to stay in touch with my daughter who is currently studying in Egypt. I have visited with a couple of teachers who will be teaching ancient civilizations with their middle school students, and there is a possibility my daughter might Skype with a class or two to talk about what she has seen and to compare/contrast her impressions of modern Egypt with ancient Egypt.
We also have some of our AEA SLPs set up to do some therapy using Skype this year. ksa From: Frerichs, Chad Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 1:47 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech] Skype?
