Thanks, Marsha! I love that you shared this with your librarian, high praise! And wasn’t that newscast great? Thanks again.

Often our edtech ideas can become siloed as we imagine potentially awesome ideas. Yet, getting back to the advice of others, particularly those we want to interact with, is crucial. Great job!

The “Making It Happen” paragraph, provided a clear outline of how to set this event up in a classroom. The resources that you found for this project were excellent, especially the newscast at the end of the post. I shared your trigger question with our school librarian, with hopes that he might consider something like this at our school. Great job!

The preparations you’ve outlined for hosting a successful session with an author are valuable, and, as an English teacher, I appreciate the link to the list of authors who Skype with classes for free. Returning your original question(s), do you have any additional thoughts on how to continue the conversation after the initial meeting with the author or enabling students to share their findings?

I got excited to try this myself when I read your line, “We are now living in a time when those questions can not only be pondered but asked of the very people who created those characters and storylines.” Additionally, the list of authors who Skype for free is the type of resource that I never would have thought to look for myself. Great job!
