Every year the Learning Technologies Department arranges digital visits with Santa. This year, we used Google Hangouts to connect with the North Pole. Students sent letters to Santa, which he checked twice with the students. Santa read a book, and everyone got to ask Santa questions before ending the hangout with a song – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It’s a great tradition and the students really love it. Afterward, the letters are sent to the local paper for a special Christmas edition.
