Last week, I reviewed a book illustrated by one of my favorite illustrators, Cyd Moore. Being a huge fan of skype (it has been invaluable now that my husband is deployed in Afghanistan) I love seeing how it can be used in productive ways. Check out this youtube by Cyd. She is offering school visits via skyping and I think it is a fabulous idea. There is nothing like a one on one school visit but what a marvelous tool for schools to adopt. It's cost effective and opens so many opportunities to have your favorite authors and illustrators visit from across the globe.
Technology is way cool. =o)
This is great Rozzie! Thanks for posting this.I really enjoyed watching her.
ReplyDeleteI recently read that Jarrett also does Skype school visits. Here is the link if you want to see. http://thejjkblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/now-offering-virtual-author-visits.html
