So 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?
Can you please share with us (by leaving a comment on this post):
- Your name
- Link to a place where they can find your contact details (such as your About page) or where they can leave their contact details (e.g. link a post/page)
- Grade/Year level of your students
- Subject area (if applicable)
- Location/Country

Hey, thanks! Yes, I am interested. Today is the last day before holiday break, and I will check out your youthradio site–which I know I have seen before–during that time.
I have just begun messing with having the kids do recording, and some district persuasion, so I look forward to staying in touch with you in the very near future!
Thanks, again.

If anyone does movies with students, we have a collaborative StopMotion site up and running, in which students create short movies around literary themes (math in the spring, perhaps?).
The project is called Longfellow 10: http://lf10.wordpress.com/ (sort of a secret film society for kids)
Right now, just two schools (mine and another) are involved but we would love to get more classes involved. And I can help mentor anyone wanting to give it a try, too.

I think it’s a great idea, but I’m worried about the endless duplication of networks I seem to be joining.
Here in Australia there’s groups on EDNA http://www.edna.edu.au/edna/go , which IMO is an excellent network – if only more people would join. I also belong to Steve Hargeddon’s Classroom 2.0 and then there’s PD WIki Australian EduBloggers. It’s getting a bit out of hand.
Could what you are suggesting be linked to one of these existing networks?
[Reply]
Sue Waters Reply:
December 19th, 2008 at 4:01 am
@mppsliblog I agree there is duplication across networks. Part of the nature of it all in some ways. EDNA is great but the nature of it makes it harder for people to connect and it’s mainly Australians whereas what I’m after helping global connections. Same comment about the Australian Edublogger wiki.
Classroom 2.0 is a great site and has been excellent for helping people connect. I’m happy to provide a link to a page on Classroom 2.0 where people can check out similar information — if you can provide it.
Regarding having a list on The Edublogger – it’s role is to support the educational community. So if readers make suggestions that would help the community, and it sounds like a good idea, then if I’m able to help I will.
I think both you and Paula make valid points. What I would like to do is include links to these other sites on the page so educators can also go across to those sites.

Hi Everyone – I’ve started setting up the Skype Other Classrooms! page. Can I get you to check this page to make sure I have your details correct?
Also fitting this page in the tabs at the top has meant I’ve had to change the names of the other pages. Can you have a look at the new names and tell me what you think? Are they obvious? Or do I need to change them?
Also I was thinking it would be great to have a Calender that shows the start/finish dates for school terms/semesters in each region. The reason why is to make it easier for people to work out when they can connect.
I’m setting it up in Google Calender and will embed it on this blog. However would love help adding the dates. If you are able to help can you email me at suewater[at]gmail[dot]com and I will share the calendar with you.
Probably worth having something that shows timezones based on Daylight savings? Thoughts?
What else have I missed?
