Be a Virtual Visit Virtuoso!
Grab 'n' Go
In her article "The Value of Virtual Visits" Jennifer Kelley Reed talks about bringing authors, experts, students, and others to your school virtually via Skype, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, or other tools. Whether connecting regionally, across continents, or internationally, it is empowering for students and teachers alike to connect with other learners. Reed has found the greatest success with four types of Skype literacy events, author and illustrator Skype visits, classroom-to-classroom Skype visits, and professional and expert Skype visits. The attached pdf describes the elements that will make your Skype event a success.
