Skype is an online application which "allows users to communicate with peers by voice, video, and instant messaging over the Internet."
At Bushkill Elementary, the 3rd grade students got to Skype with other 3rd grade students at another Elementary School in the district. This school was Shafter Elementary. At Shafer, these students were doing a project with raising baby chicks. Since the students at Bushkill were not doing this, the two classes Skyped and Shafter students explained their experience while the Bushkill students asked questions like "When is their birthday?!"
It was a great experience to see Skype used in a larger setting than just one-on-one and being used for such an educational and interesting topic.
