To get back to the Skype Session with Zoaib Hoosen, MD of Microsoft in South Africa…
This could be an unforgettable event for your class to participate in! This could be one of your Skype calls during the day! What do you need in your classroom to participate?
*You’ll need to have Skype installed (free) on the laptop you will use for the Skype session
* Think about a creative idea on what to talk about. e.g teach Zoaib something about your school/culture; talking about jobs of the future, Q&A session talking technology, find out more about Microsoft, discuss the future of technology, information about your respective towns, sharing interesting lessons, etc. The ball is in your court!
