This week children will be exposed to Skype as a form of communication. They will be given a practical example of using this
form of communication in their class and will look at the advantages of using this type of communication. Since Christmas is
approaching, we will also be writing a letter to Santa and generating a personalised response back from Santa using the
North Pole application. We will also be conducting our summative assessment for this unit.
