Learning program unites student pen-pals 1,000 km apart

Grade 3 students at Whitby, Ont.’s St. Theresa Catholic School connect with a class at Marjorie Mills Public School in Longlac, Ont., 1,000 km away, through Skype. Teachers from the two schools are using the video chat application to connect the communities and give students the opportunity to learn about each other.
