Skype in the classroom launches new partnerships, including collaboration with NASA's digital learning network
There are few of us who didn't dream of meeting an astronaut when we were little (hell, I'd be excited to meet one today). And now, through Skype in the classroom's inspiring new partners, learning about living and working in space is now a real possibility. NASA's Digital Learning Network™ is just one of the many new partnerships that we are launching today; we're also collaborating with British Council, the National Museum of the Royal Navy and HMS Victory, Action Aid, Woodland Trust, Verbalizeit, Education through Expedition.
All these amazing new partners are helping us deliver more dynamic and engaging content to more classrooms around the world. Currently, Skype in the classroom has over 38,000 teacher members from 218 countries–it's a truly global platform with innovative teachers delivering new lessons every day. And from today, the site will be live in Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian and Japanese. Wherever teachers are, they can take part. It's on days like today, I wish I was back at school; don't you?
