Abstract | This study examined the perceived benefits and challenges of using synchronous videoconferencing as a tool to teach academic content and engage United States (U.S.) elementary students in intercultural exchanges with peers in other countries. The study employed a sequential mixed-methods design that consisted of first surveying, then interviewing participants. The findings suggested that synchronous videoconferencing served as an effective tool to simultaneously promote students' learning of existing curricula all while amplifying the students' understanding of diverse cultures throughout the world. Furthermore, participants noted only a few minor challenges, such as scheduling issues and/or technical difficulties. Overall, participants highly recommended the integration of synchronous video interactions as a tool to help enhance lessons, promote long term retention of content, and facilitate intercultural exchanges among students.
