Cool School – Global Schoolhouse’s Connected World

This youtube.com video demonstrates how students in schools can benefit from talking to other children around the country using the Internet. The students are using a webcam, a small camera that sends video over the Internet, to view and speak with other students from different states in real time. The students get to learn about other people's cultures and lifestyles without leaving their schools. The use of this technology may also be advantageous for the teachers of these classes because they can learn new methods of instruction from the teachers of the other classrooms. If you would like to find out more about this exciting and educational use of Internet social networking, please visit the foundations' website at http://www.globalschoolnet.org/.
