This week the Unicorns used some high-tech ways to communicate with friends around the world. The Unicorns used the Internet program named Skype to have a video chat with Ellen, who is visiting in Israel. All the Unicorns were very excited to see and speak with Ellen in Jerusalem over the computer in our classroom.
Ellen told all the kids about her trip to Israel with her travel companion Flat Stanley. We also found out that she saw Zack and his family, while just walking around the streets of Jerusalem. The kids had so much fun seeing and speaking with Ellen. It is really a small world and with amazing technology like Skype connecting people, it is getting even smaller!
By the way, Skype is free and all you need to speak and see anyone in the world is an Internet connection. It is a great way to connect with friends far away, without any long distance charges! Just go to Skype.com and download the software and have the person you want to speak to do the same. After you set up a free account and choose a Skype user name, your friends can look you up and start a conversation. Have fun!
