During the first week of June, Mrs. Durham's 4th grade class will be holding a "skyp-ing" session with author/illustrator Sheri Amsel. Skype is a virtual phone call which takes place over the Internet. Users at each end utilize a webcame in order to see one another as they are talking. This will be our first trial usage of the technology in the library. If it goes well, there are many other ways in which we could try using it next year, including skyping with other schools in different areas of the country in order to get firsthand accounts of what life is like in other places! Stay tuned to find out how this first experience goes. I'm sure it will be interesting, no matter what happens!
