On Thursday, April 18th 2013. my 6th grade students and I tried out group Skype for the first time. We talked to our friends in Izmir, Turkey and our new friends from Durban, South Africa. However, we couldn't see Ms. Vosloo's class (in South Africa) as her Skype video wasn't working but we exchanged the questions that students prepared and I think we learned something new about how school life looks like in Turkey and South Africa.
