There are three distinct ways to use Skype in the classroom. 1. Collaborate with other classes, no matter where they are. 2. You can find guest speakers and invite them into your classroom. 3. You can also take your class on a virtual field trip anywhere in the world. I would love to be able to collaborate with another orchestra and/or band program in another state, or even better, in another country! It would be a great experience for the kids, and they would be able to play repertoire for one another and talk about their own experiences within their own groups.
