Image of MicSo how do you find classrooms to communicate with in other countries?

Hadn’t thought of that when I wrote the Quick Start Tips For New Skype Users post but fortunately Mike and David Ashby did.

So how can we make it easier for people to connect? Well been thinking that I could set up another page on The Edublogger like the Check out These Class Blogs page but for educators wanting to connect with other classrooms via Skype.

So I was wondering if you could help me? Are you interested in connecting with other classrooms?

About Sue Waters

I work as an aquaculture lecturer at the WA Maritime Training Centre, Challenger TAFE in Western Australia. I have been working with a range of mobile technologies with students since late 2005. The purpose of my blog, podcast and wiki site is to document my learning journey with mobile and Web 2.0 technology so that I can share my experiences with other lecturers. My main focus is how these technologies can be used practically to benefit lecturers and students.
