Beth Dichter's insight:

Have you wanted to connect your class to a class in another part of the country. Skype is making that a bit easier with their new policy that will allow educators their Group Video Calling Plan at no cost. This plan allows you to connect with up to 10 parties at no cost. 

If you have not looked at Skype in the Classroom check out this link: https://education.skype.com/. They continue to add great programs that you may access and this new plan is the icing on the cake. Be aware that it may take 48 hours for you to receive a code to make the call, so plan ahead. Allow your class to become part of a larger community through Skype!
