Video conferencing in education

Congratulations to tech integrator, Kat Tacea! FreeConferenceCall.com For the Classroom awarded Kat an Amazon Echo last weekend for demonstrating the innovative use of tech in the classroom. Kat is a teacher and librarian at Lafayette Elementary School in the Long Beach Unified School District.
