Length of Lesson: (minutes, number of class periods, or days or weeks needed).
The lesson could take place for probably a few class periods depending on the amount of questions the students ask.
Schedule of Activities: (Break down your activity into a timeline of events. Focus on what students will be doing and what teachers will be doing during each part of the activity.)

The students will be able to see the other schools on the screen and each get a turn asking a question on a related topic.











How will these activities be assessed? (Go back to your objectives, what will the students do? Make sure that each objective is paired to an assessment measure that allows students to show it).
The students will be able to know why technology is important and know about other parts of the world.

The students will need to know when to speak and when not to. If they cannot behave, they will leave the classroom.
