5SK participated in 4 Skype math lessons with students from Mount Vernon Presbyterian School yesterday morning. A huge thank you to Miss Immel, her students and their wonderful caregivers. We are ahead of Mount Vernon School by 15 hours as they are located in Atlanta, Georgia. Our session started at 8:30am Thursday morning which in Atlanta time was Wednesday afternoon at 5:30pm. Very cool!
Our math lessons were student created and run. They were broken up into 4 mini lessons. Two created by students at Mount Vernon and two were created by our students. Along with Skype, our students created PowerPoints, handouts and games for their lessons and we emailed our resources prior to the session.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of using Skype as a lesson tool in the classroom and look forward to doing it again. Thank you again to Miss Immel, the students and families at Mount Vernon Presbyterian School for including us in this fantastic learning experience.
