Skype Bridges Gap Between Classroom and Traveling Students
Austin Tennis Academy and ATA College Prep are constantly striving to grasp the power of technology to better serve its students. Through interaction via Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and the ATA website, or analyzing intricate technique with the latest in video sharing technology, ATA works to be at the forefront of using these tools to offer the best possible product to its community.
Today’s middle school World Geography class was another wonderful example of this ongoing effort. Jesse Wikso, while in Florida at Spring Nationals, Skyped into class to give a presentation on research he’d completed for our unit on Asia.
He was able to access the assignment online through TeacherEase, our student information and classroom management tool, complete the assignment, and present it to the teacher and the class without ever falling behind due to tournament travel.
Great job, Jesse!
