Skype Lessons open the walls of the classroom to many resources not possible before! We were able to kick off our Adaptations science unit by going on a virtual tour of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West museum located outside Yellow Stone National Park by taking part in the Skype lesson they created called Amazing Animal Adaptations . George Miller took us on a tour around the museum while using his iPad and just the right language for 3rd graders. 100 students and roughly 10 teachers were memorized at the massive bear paws and antlers on the moose, made even larger by our big screen in our theater. A Visible Thinking routine called See, Think, Wonder kept students' minds buzzing while George opened their eyes to adaptation and a place half a world away.
