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?

Can you please share with us (by leaving a comment on this post):

  1. Your name
  2. 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)
  3. Grade/Year level of your students
  4. Subject area (if applicable)
  5. Location/Country
  6. Timezone as UTC/GMT

    1. @cathyschiding, Hi

      Are you only interested in connecting with other history classes? I teach English as a foreign language and my students are simply ready to connect with other students to discuss various topics related to culture and life in general.

      I teach the first grade of high school, my students are 16/17 years old. Are you interested in making a connection?

      Hi!
      I’m hopeful of this connection. I am looking to connect my students with other students for the purpose of communicating in English about various topics. Are you interested? Do you have a communicating plan?

      Please check out http://www.soenglishglobally.com, this is the site that I plan to use for the connection. Through the site our students will be able to communicate through video and through writing. The videos are recorded so the time differences isn’t a barrier.
