SKYPE Chat with Room 8 @ Fairfield School. Dunedin

Hi Kea Class,

Today we were lucky to meet the children from Room 8 at Fairfield School via SKYPE.
It was a great chance to experience a new way of communicating using a web cam.

Please post your thoughts and ideas for future SKYPE chats with Room 8 and other classes.

Thanks,

Mr Douglas.
