It’s always difficult to leave the classroom, but what an inspiring day! Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano was the guest speaker, and she shared a variety of resources with us. Some of them included the following: Mystery Skype, Skype in the Classroom, blogfolios, quadblogging, and PLN options, such as Twitter. We had the opportunity to experience Skype first-hand by connecting with four different people (personal, expert, colleague, and classroom). It was incredible! We had the chance to visit Silvia’s mom in Argentina, a classroom in Brazil, interview curriculum expert Janet Hale, and take a virtual field trip to TedX Studios in New York with Josefino Rivera Jr. This opportunity demonstrated how easy it is to collaborate and connect with classrooms and leaders around the world. We also learned the importance of preparation and participation in videoconferencing. By using GoogleDocs, we were able to share expectations and ideas. Engaging infographics showed the different roles that all students can have during video-conferencing sessions. These opportunities can easily be extended into our classrooms, and we can’t wait to share our journey!
