I have a high school teacher that wants to have her International Business students (juniors & seniors) communicate with students in another country via Skype. I have contacts in Italy, but the time difference is seven hours. Anyone have any contacts with classrooms in South America?
No - but I do have a website that my students use at seedebate.org. It is more of a bulletin board format so the time difference wouldn't be a big deal.
Those that are concerned about safety - try SEEDebate.org. Free, closed, moderated, no student email required. You can use it however you want. Less bells and whistes than Ning - so far...we're working on adding more social features. Send me a message if you have questions!
