Re: sharing while traveling

Currently one of our Middle School teachers is in China as part of a program with the Columbia University NCTA (National Consortium for Teaching about Asia). He is participating in a two-week study tour to establish class-to-class collaborative links
with partner classrooms.

Fortunately for our girls, he is still able to teach his classes from overseas. This morning he taught his 8th grade class using a webcam and Skype. We are following his travels through his blog on Blogger. Since he captures his video with a FLIP
video camera, we are all able to view some really neat experiences. It has truly been a great experience for us so far.
