Are you ready to take your class to global event with virtual trips? It's another exciting Skype-a-Thon year 2017

Skype-a-Thon is a global learning event that makes it possible for students to virtually travel around the world and connect beyond the classroom. This event holds once every year.

Join us this year — on November 28-29 — as we aim to travel 10 million virtual miles to make new friends, open hearts and open minds in order to create a kinder, more compassionate world!  

It's easy to participate   

Schedule a Skype call with another classroom or a fascinating guest speaker for November 28-29.

There’s so many ways to connect and learn during this year’s Skype-a-Thon, from playing Mystery Skype or visiting a classroom, to taking a virtual field trip, or hearing from a guest speaker. Choose from the activities and schedule as many calls as you can via the Microsoft Educator Community, between November 28 and 29 to connect your students to the world!
