I am a technology & computer skills teacher in North
Carolina. I am using Skype in my computer lab to teach web
conferencing along with many other topics. I would love to
join your class in a Skype meeting to talk about our state.
We are going to have our first Skype meeting with another
school in our district tomorrow, so I may need some guidance.
Skype is new to me, but so far I love the possibilities for
the students to gain more experiences with cultural and world
views. Your state information swap will also help my fourth
grade students to meet several social studies goals. You can
reach me on Skype, my user name is Teach-N-Tech or by email -
jagill@vcs.k12.nc.us. Thanks. Janis Gill
