Looking to video skype with other classrooms

I'm the tech person at my school as well as the computer teacher. Do you have any class rooms looking to video skype with another classroom?

We have 20" iMacs with iSight cameras and I'm loking for video skype buddies for my classes.

Good morning,

I'm the principal of a small international primary school in Singapore and we'd be interested! We also have an iMac lab with 20 iMacs, in addition to one of our classes who have a class set of Macbooks.

What year/grade/age groups are you looking for? We don't start back to school until Monday the 31st and would probably take a couple of weeks into the first semester before we'd be ready to start video chats. Not sure if you can wait that long?

Please see my response above. With Skype although I live in Hawaii I can be with you in a classroom.
kbolmanahaa@gamil.com so contact me.

I'm a K12 school counselor of a rural public school in Central Nebraska, USA. I have a class of tenth graders studying economics that would love to connect by Skype or through an IP number, if possible. If this group would not be appropriate for your group, perhaps 4th, 5th or 6th grade could work.

My e-mail is bbednar@esu10.org or bbednar.esu10@gmail.com. You can check out a blog site that is a journal of some of our video conference connections since last February.

I am the Curriulum Technologist at an Elementary School Pre-K - 5th grade in Texas. I would be interested in skyping with your school. We have one webcam hooked up in our news room and I have students come in and ask questions. I record it and show it on our school news to the whole school. We have skyped Lima, Peru, Seville, Spain, Russia and Japan as well as Texas.
We could also do skype buddies, we are flexible. Thanks!!

Hi,
I wonder if you use Spanish to talk with people in Perú, Spain, etc.
I'm a Spanish teacher and I'm looking for some skype-buddies to interact with my students.
Thank you,
David

Tyler,
We're actually doing a unit on the continents with 2nd graders from different continents around the world. Would you be interested in joining? Here's our spreadsheet. We will send more info at the end of the month.

I know your request was a year ago but are you still interested in skyping with a class. I am the tech specialist in a K-5 school in NJ

I have a SmartBoard attached to my MAC along with 4 MACs in the classroom. I would love to participate. What grade level are you interested in? I have wanted to Skyp with overseas classrooms as well. We are in Pennsylvarnia.

What grade level?? I have students in K - 5. Any of those grade levels would be great. I too want to Skype overseas but out of state is a good place to start. :)
