Rachel,
Check out www.virtualclassroom.org
The contest has actually already begun, but we have a few spots on teams where partners have "disappeared".

Hello everyone. I would like to as you to please visit a website for a program called Arts and Sciences Support of Education Through Technology (ASSETT) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. We have a ton of content about technology in the classroom and other useful information. While we strive to cover the CU community, we also cover national emerging technologies related to teaching and pedagogy in higher education. I am currently conducting research relating to three series' on Social Media, Transforming Education and Open Education.
ASSETT Website
Please visit out site and let me know what you think! Suggestions are always welcomed. This site will be updated in a few weeks. Thanks for your time.

I'm Simon from Australia. I work in an art and design faculty of The University of New South Wales. I am very much into online learning and teaching, and have a keen interest in helping other teachers develop skills and expertise in this area. Looking forward to meeting and having some good conversations with others about this!

Hi, I'm Susy Siel, a high school Library Media Teacher in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I am new at this level, but I have been a SKYPE user with elementary students for several years. In March of 2009 I had my coup de gras with 17 SKYPE connections in one week in celebration of Read Across the Planet. NEA sponsors Read Across America for the birth of Dr. Seuss... I just took that one step further. WHEW!~!~
Now I am at Bradford High School and have made a few connections to Guatemala, So. Africa, Denmark and of course across Kenosha in my first year.
At the moment I'm looking to connect with a Holocaust Survivor. Any tips from you would certainly be welcome.

a.. TITLE: Globaldreamers peace project
PRESENTER: Marsha Goren, Ein Ganim Elementary (Israel)
FORMAT: Presentation
LANGUAGE: English
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Global Dreamers: Peace Project. The Dream a Dream project
was developed by Mrs. Marsha Goren of Ein Ganim School Israel in 2000 and
first met the Internet in 2001. The idea started as a vehicle to encourage
children and educators to share in a learning environment that would lead to
global communication and tolerance. It inspires children to take a deeper
look at the world by exploring, exchanging ideas, and using research tools,
which supports a positive learning environment and a shared learning
experience. Because of the war between Israel and the Palestinians which
began in December 2008, schools were invited to join the peace project. The
children felt the need to express their feelings on the subject together
with many partners around the world.
TRACK: Policy and Leadership
In addtion I would like to add that we are still accepting work for the
fall project and thank the educators for sending us such lovely materials.
Our peace project is ongoing and you are invited to add materials, it is
really a great unit with so many schools including lovely lesson plans,
worksheets, online activities, songs, etc.
Use and enjoy,

I am a middle school math and science teacher in Rocklin California. I am in my 21st year of teaching and I have taught in Idaho, Nevada, and California. I have experience with grades 3 - 8. I have been in the middle school setting for the past 7 years and loving working with the young adolescent kiddos.
I have always been into technology, but now it is so much more exciting. I am surprised how afraid of technology many of my colleagues are, in fact they are down right resistent. So, I am a lone wolf on my campus learning and integrating and slowly getting others to try the technology tools available to them.
I am so appreciative of this network of extremely talented and knowledgeable educators!!! I have been attending the Saturday classes and visit this site multiple times throughout my day!!
