Sign up to take a virtual field trip with your class with Skype Fieldtrips. Teachers choose a trip from a variety of subject areas: animals, American Indians, authors, museums, etc.
Just sign up for a field trip, and sign in to Skype or create a new account. Your students will be able to talk to a live expert: collaborate, communicate, use critical thinking skills, and flatten your classroom--all in one fell swoop.
You can also sign up for a Mystery Skype tour. Students ask questions to find out where in the world you are Skyping to (I know, Sheri; don't end sentence in a preposition). You can also sign up to have YOUR class be the Mystery location.
If you go on the magical mystery tour, here's a great blog post with questions to get your students started.
