I would be interested in something like this. I"m a beginner, but have a lot of tech support here. We are a suburb of Chicago. Would the time difference be an issue? My email is:

I think our 3rd graders (in California, on Pacific Standard Time) would enjoy this connection.

Let me know!!

Hi Suzanne,
Are you still looking for grade 2 classes to connect with? Our grade 2 classes are setup for Skype. We produce digital stories as well. We would be interested in making a connection with your class. We publish our stories on blog sites. This allows for comments and discussions. Here is an example: htttp://blogs.jefftwp.org/wordpress/briggsschoolproductions
