“Connected Educator Month is a global initiative designed to support and promote networked approaches to educational professional learning.” http://connectededucator.org.nz/about/
With so many exciting events happening during Connected Educator Month (CEM) I strongly encourage you to check out the CEM calendar and make the most of the opportunities. Including today from 11.30 - 12.30 Change Leadership: Connecting Māori and Pasifika.
Here are two examples of how schools have used Skype to be connected.
Learning our Mihi - Brightwater School/Melville Intermediate (Kia ora Allanah King)
Facilitating shared learning using Skype - Melville Intermediate/Broadlands Primary

Love that you have shared a connection I was part of a few years ago, when I was at Broadlands. The actual network connection is terrible at Broadlands yet we still managed. At thd end of 2013 I left Broadlands and now have the pleasure of being connected with fibre. It makes a difference and allows you to think bigger in how and ways to connect with others.
This term I plan to run SOLE and get my mum to skype in to be the Granny in the cloud. I think mum will love it. Watch this space!
Kia ora Melanie
Thanks for sharing how you managed without great connectivity. Looking forward to hearing more.
