"Our sixth grade reading class had their first ever Skype session with Eric that couldn't have gone better. Eric not only entertained our students and made them very comfortable, but he gave complete responses to our questions. As a teacher, I would highly recommend having a Skype session with Eric for any elementary or middle school reading/literature class."
- David Bliss, Principal, Zion Lutheran School - Pierce, NE
"To have a real author HERE with us.. and with the students responding as you read, Eric... so joyful!"
- Mary Kay Sommers, Principal, Shepardson Elem. School - Fort Collins, Colorado

Nothing tops live author visit workshops and assemblies for building enthusiasm for literacy. For some schools, however, limited budgets or the school's remote location keep live visits out of reach. That's where virtual author visits come into the picture. With a bit of internet technology, students can benefit from many of the same experiences awarded by live author visits.
Why schedule a "virtual visit"?
Sessions are live, interactive, and fun!
They are easy to schedule.
They are less expensive than live visits.
Students find virtual visits entertaining, engaging, and just a little mysterious!
There's a good chance your school already has everything you need to make a virtual author visit happen.
What do you need?
broadband internet connection
a large computer monitor or a projector and screen and audio speakers (so you can see and hear me).
a webcam and microphone (so that I can see and hear you)! Most webcams have a microphone built into them.
a video calling application - either Skype or Logitech Vid (Both applications are easily learned. Skype is FREE and available here. Logitech Vid is also free if your school has purchased a Logitech webcam.)
