You Are There: No Budget for Travel? Try Video Chat
Langhorst, Eric
School Library Journal, v55 n6 p46-48 Jun 2009
The author discusses how he used video chat as an alternative to a physical trip. Any teacher with an Internet hookup and a $30 webcam can connect with anyone in the world using video chat. Programs like Skype Video and the Google Mail's video chat function make it easy and, best of all, are completely free. The author discusses how to get started with video chat in the classroom and provides some advance prep work that will help one make the most of his/her video chat experience.
