I love how you were able to bring a professional into the classroom in a virtual way. This opens up so many more doors and opportunities that do not have to be strictly regulated due to funding issues. Thanks again! Thank you for sharing this wonderful opportunity.

Kudos to you and your students, too! Bringing the expert into the classroom is certainly inspirational for all - increasing the level of engagement and tapping into authenticity. Your post also shares the fun you had with this skype call. I was amused at the description of f2f 'backchanneling' vis a vis the 'offline' conversation about the author's favorite character - not only the level of communication going on, but also the realization that the 'minor' characters are often stronger than the 'main' characters. And, once again, I was reminded of the vital connection between learning and emotion. Thanks for sharing - this will be a model for me to consider in my work! Carolyn,
