The Global Community, Right There in Your Classroom
This is awesome, what an amazing way to utilize Skype. Connecting classrooms in China and California together and getting kids to come back to school after hours. Now what happens when this isn’t exceptional, but commonplace.
Teachers can make these connections, build lessons around them and alter the way they instruct. Perhaps next year my wife can take her Chinatown neighborhood study curriculum and connect with a teacher in China and likewise a teacher in China can perform a unit on NYC and connect with my wife.
Open API’s, great teaching ideas and a platform for connecting classrooms. Education is an amazing place to be right now.

I have four or five really awesome globally connect projects ready to launch but I need to better understand the platforms. I think you would want to be involved. I can detail off-line, on-line, should I just plop it here?
