Looking for collaboration partners

I'm looking to find teachers who are interested in collaborating with primary school classrooms through the use of a blog, wiki or flickr and maybe even Skype. We study continents and I'd love to communicate with a classroom on a different continent to share photos, classroom events, and each others' cultures. I would appreciate actual email addresses of teachers you know who would be open to such an exchange possibility next school year. thanx in advance

Hi Sue,

I'd love to collaborate with you! I'm currently teaching middle school IT, but will be transitioning to Elementary next year, so I'd love to start planning early. I will be at the International School Bangkok, working as the 21st Century Literacy specialist in the Library. I should be able to work with any grade level from K-5 :) Does that work for you?

Sounds interesting! I teach a year 5/6 class (10 &11 year olds) in Brisbane in Australia. I might be interested in joining you. Can you give me more details such as when you might like to do this and what activities you would envision? I think it would be fun to exchange facts about our countries and maybe even have some kind of "Trivia Game" where each school asks other schools questions about their countries. I would love to use Skype with your class - just have to get the 'techies' to unblock it!

I am also doing a collaborative online project this year. It is based around students designing and creating wind-powered land yachts. Check out the site: http://www.oz-teachernet.edu.au/projects/yachts
Maybe your class would like to join us?

I look forward to hearing from you!
Nadine :))
