Skyping school visits
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)
