Mystery Skype Sessions
We love our Mystery Skype Sessions. We are connecting with students around the world! We are learning about geography, how to use tools to help us put the clues together, and we are developing our skills as communicators. The list below shows our Mystery Skype Schools. Read the clues and see if you can infer where they are located then go to the link to see their school websites or their blogs. Students can make a comment on their blogging buddy's blog.
Mystery School Number 7- May 2013
This Mystery Skype Session was exciting! We exchanged clues and researched while we skyped. Students said they liked skyping this way because they found out right away where the school is located and we didn't have to schedule another skype session to confirm our thinking!
1. They live in the Northern Hemisphere
2. They live by the Great Lakes
3. They live in a province
4. It was the end of the school day for them and the beginning of the day for us
5. They get snow
The students put the clues together and guessed that this mystery school is located in Toronto, Ontario. It is very close to Jack's new hometown. The number one clue was that they lived by the Great Lakes. We had fun skyping another Canadian school and learning more about Canada!
