North High School Skypes with New England Journalist

On Tuesday, December 14th, the students in Mr. Rodrigues’ class interviewed a journalist using Skype technology, which allowed them to meet face-to-face without ever leaving the school. This experience was summed up by North’s English department chair when she stated, “In my time at North, I would be hard pressed to name a richer educational experience that I have witnessed.” As the district continues its efforts to use technology to further engage students and increase student achievement, this tool is just one of several hand picked technologies supported by the Department of Instructional Technology.
