Skype

I attended our college's first skype session with Russia. This is just some news coverage of myself and our professor from Russia- Dr. Olga Lomakina speaking about the experience. It was a great learning opportunity for me because we got to speak directly to Russian students and we found out that their interests and likes are incredibly similar to our own. I think that this would be a very good tool to use in our classrooms because it was give our students a chance to brainstorm questions to ask the students in another country; and would also allow them to learn about a different culture. I can't wait to do this again! Incase the story is no longer up when you click the link, the title is: HV students chat with Russian counterparts.
