That's becoming something I've seen a lot more. Teleconferencing is also a thing some schools are using, where one class can talk to another class in another state or another country. One of the elementary schools I cover was Skyping with a school in Guatemala once a week for their fourth grade classes. Each class spent an hour or so talking to students there. Some of the Spanish peaking high school students came in to translate.
