Thing #19 - Skype Responsibly

I've used Skype in my personal life but not in the classroom, so I started a Skype account for use with my students. Our Skype name is Pocahontas.ABE

I registered for a couple of lessons in Skype Classroom. I'm still unsure of how it works & how my adult students might benefit from this, considering it seems geared toward the K-12 set. I do believe that it would be great for my students to take a virtual field trip via Skype, as a lot of them have not been out of the state. I would also welcome an opportunity to do a group chat with another adult education classroom somewhere else. I think the "mystery skype" would be a fun opportunity for my students and a good way for them to practice their geography skills.
