Today we videoconferenced with our epals from Waterloo, Illinois. (We had tried to do it last Thursday, but the internet flaked out too many times. Seems lots of us had that problem that day.)
What also made it wonderful was that we could do it from the "comfort" of our own classroom. Wireless is WONDERFUL. We used Skype and projected the screen using a data projector. (No smart board for us....GARY! where are you when we need you!)
Mr. Theobald was the "quiz master" and Waterloo students asked us geography questions.
We conferenced for half an hour. Our sound wasn't great, but if people spoke clearly we could hear them.
The only downer...our epals start summer holidays this Friday. NOT FAIR.

I was busy helping our kindergarten teacher use more technology in her classroom. She is awesome (and the last person I expected to bring it in). She is awesome by the way.
As for helping you out....I know somebody who just got a shipment of 100 infrared LED in the mail......
