I like the idea of stopping for 5-10 minutes to skype with a class in another country because we don’t only get to know more people but we also get to know more facts about the country. I learnt new things when I talk to other countries because of our data questions. I thought the questions really helped me know about their classroom better. I use skype all the time to connect with my friends and family. I usually connect with friends from our class. What I learnt about communicating with other classes using skype is that we must be prepared for the unexpected questions. I think we should continue to make connections with other classes because we can learn a lot of things from it. But when we do connections at home, I just think we should have more people to participate because not a lot of us are right now.

I think that it is a very good idea because it is now like we get to skype another class everyday of our lives. We get to learn a lot of interesting facts about themselves.
I actrually learn a lot because i get to know how many different nationatilies there are in the different clases and what sports the like. I use skype a lot at home because i skype my dad a lot when ever he leaves the country and i really like to skpe my friends. I learned that there are a lot of different nationalities in different schools around the world. Yes i think we should keep contacting with other schools because you learn a lot from them.
Also i really think that this helps people in our class to because you finally get a chance to say things about yourself and were you live to other people around the world.

Skyping with another class in another country for 5-10 minutes is great because you learn about their school, their way of life, their beliefs, and their culture. I have learned many different things about the topics in the previous sentence.

At home I Skype with my Grandparents in the USA, and my parents have other contacts in their Skype “phonebook.”

I have learned that on Skype calls you have to speak loudly and clearly, so the person on the other end of the line can hear you and understand you.

I think we should keep Skyping with other classrooms around the world because you learn about other people’s experiences and daily lives. Afterwards, you can compare and contrast them with your experiences and life.

I feel very easy and quick to chat with someone you have never met and it’s really awesome.

I learn about other people’s lives and it’s fun to compare them to mine.

I don’t use Skype at home.

I learned that communicating with other poeple around the world can be very easy and simple.

Yes, we should keep on making connection around the world, because it helps us understand about different parts of the world and their cultures, but mainly because it’s fun

I like the idea of taking 5-10 minutes off to skype because it is a fast and easy way to communicate and learn about the other place we are skyping in a short time. I learn the answer to our data question and sometimes even they answer their own data question they are asking us so I normally learn 2 things. I skype with family all the time. I have learned to speak slowly, clearly and loud in skype calls or the other end might not hear you. I think we should keep doing skype calls but a thing we could do to make it better is if the calls had a bit more purpose because right now we arent getting anything really meaningful about the country we skype with.
I think an important thing we need to work on is our audibility because during our last skype call I could barely hear the conversation.

How do you feel stopping for 5-10 minutes, to skype with a class in other country?

In class it’ll be great but at my house it’ll be hard.

Do you learn anything when we talk to other students from around the world?

Yes!
what the weathers like
what the other kids in that school play in recess
and other unfamilliar subjects we don’t do.

Do you use Skype at home to connect with family/friends?
No

What have you learned about communicating with others using Skype in classroom?

what the weathers like
what the other kids in that school play in recess
and other unfamilliar subjects we don’t do.

Should we continue to make connections with other classrooms around the world?

I think we should cause it’s really interesting to talk with people in the otherside of the world.

I feel good about 5-10 minutes to skype with a class in another country. Yes ,I learnt how different our countrys really are. I use skype once or twice a year so i don’t use skype a lot. I learnt how far away we live from the class and what it’s like living there. Yes, because we learn more about the way other people live and where they live. I don’t like the idea of skypeing at home because it can take time away from our home work time.

I will be shy because I connecting with stranger. But sometimes If finish I felling happy!!

I learn that I am brave and speak English better!!

No but my sister use it. I thought it’s interesting.
Maybe I learn I believe my mind.

Yes!! Because I meet the other country children so I feel happy.

The important is brave,happy and confident

I think that stopping for 5 minutes adds a bit of exitment to school.
I learn that no matter what languges we speak or where we are from, we can still become friends.
I use Skype to connect with my friends in Maui and family in Califoria.
I think we should continue to talk to other classes because it adds exitment into our day.
