A Spanish class in Ashwaubenon got a chance to meet some new pen pals without having to pick up a pen and paper.

The students visited a class From Ecuador, more than a thousand miles away from Northeast Wisconsin. They used Skype to talk with each other.

The class teacher says it's the perfect way for both classes to share their cultures with each other.

Funding for the Spanish Skype came from an education grant.
