Hearts on fire: How educators are using Skype to ignite idealism in their students

Hearts on fire: How educators are using Skype to ignite idealism in their students
PK Dauer, Microsoft Education, 2018/02/14
I always worry about claims that something fires up students' idealism, because propaganda also does that, and it has nothing to do with learning. The jury is still out on this initiative.
