Before starting, make sure you join our wikispace and create a Skype account. Always make sure to check with your building Principal and Director of Technology to have permission before starting.

Here is a list of projects that we will be participating in for the Skype project:
 * 1) Chatting Across America-You can link up with classrooms from every state. See if you can get all 50 states.
 * 2) Multicultural Perspectives-Link up with different countries to learn about various cultures and traditions. See if you can meet someone from each country.
 * 3) Seasons Around the World-Learn about the different climates and seasons in different places around the world.
 * 4) The 6 different US regions-Explore the regions of the United States and learn about them from students that live there.
 * 5) National Landmarks and Events-The world is filled with different landmarks. Learn about the landmarks from students that live there. See how many landmarks your class can learn about!
