Global Collaboration

The Internet offers students and teachers unlimited resources for working collaboratively.  Around the world with 80 schools projects is a global collaboration site that offers ideas for students to work collaboratively on projects through the use of SKYPE.  I would like to use SKYPE to provide the students with opportunities to conference with other students from around the world.  This technology provides the students with the opportunity to conduct audio and video conferences.  Students could compare and contrast the topics they are studying in each subject area and share what interesting current events are happening in their own home countires.
