7. Okay, but how do I use it in the classroom? Collaboration among students after class Visual pen pals Visiting authority Author visit with class Homebound instruction AND – MOST IMPORTANTLY - Visiting with my Grandkids!!! (okay, that one’s not for the classroom

8. Can I hook it up to my projector? You bet, and here’s a great YouTube video to tell you how ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf2qeXC6aOo This would be great for an author visit with the whole class.

9. Any downsides? Well, you can only connect to one device, so if another call comes in, you have to disconnect with the call you’re on. You and your contact must each have an Apple device that supports FaceTime. You must supervise closely if everyone in the class is on a different FaceTime visit. If the whole class is watching, it will be difficult for the other viewer to see everyone.
