Skype Other Classrooms!

This page has been set up to help you make connections with classes who are interesting in having Skype conversations with other classes.

It’s be sorted by time zone,  Grade level and subjects.

This list was started Dec 18, 2008 and date last updated is shown at the top of the spreadsheet (educators details were added/old information removed –including those where it wasn’t clear whether the educator was still active)!

We’ve tried our best to keep this information helpful and current however due to the nature of this type of list, and when it was started, people’s situation may have changed and they may no longer be interested in connecting — so it is best to try contacting several people.

If you would like your class added to this list please add your details to this post.

We’ve embedded this list as a Google Doc in this page.  If you are unable to view this document on your school network, it means that Google Docs may be blocked on your network, and you’ll need to view it on your home computer.

Remember to scroll across and down the list to see all the information for each person!

Alternatively, if you would like to see the list without scrolling you can view it as a web page here!

    What a great list.

    You know, in the vein of not taking ourselves too seriously, I want to share out a series of webcomics that I did around the concept of The Flat Classroom concept (if Sue doesn’t mind)

    Happy collaborating everyone

    Great idea. Can this list grow? I know some teachers in my district who are interested in Skyping as well.

    I would be willing to Skype as well! I told my students about all of the possibilities, but have yet to find another classroom!

    Thank you!

    I am sending this message from the Creative Writing Department of Overton High School in Memphis, Tennessee. We conduct a “Coffee Shop” on Fridays during which students perform “Open Mike” pieces for an audience of their peers. However, this concept of communication via the web with other classes could open up an entirely new audience of listeners and performers. IS ANYONE OUT THERE INTERESTED IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ON THIS?
