New Links to New Learning members, remember that  videoconferences are available all year! If you are teaching a summer school course, you can include videoconferencing in the curriculum. K-12 programs are out there- in any subject! Studying Shakespeare? Take your students to the Globe Theatre in London. Listening to students talk about the latest Cardinals' series? Cooperstown NY, and the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum are just an IP address away! Learn about Diversity in the Dugout or The Business of Baseball.  Are your students interested in music, but you need to cover science and social studies? Visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum. Videoconferences include Hip-Hop Technology: From Turntables to Computers and Rock & Roll Reactions: Records, Radios and the Birth of Teenage Culture in 1950s America.  There is a lot out there! Contact me for more ideas or suggestions.
