As part of their current collaborative project with a class in New Zealand, they are learning all about 21st Century Literacy skills – wikis, Skype, and now YackPack.

YackPack is basically an online telephone and answering machine. Students, teachers and parents in the Pack can either communicate “live” when both parties are online, or leave voice messages for other members of the Pack. This tool will allow our partner classmates to get to know each other on a more personal level.

We can’t wait to get started!
