Looking for Skype Partners

I am trying something new this semester with my graduate students in the course, Introduction to Education Technology. In the past, I have introduced them to Skype and even set up some educators to Skype into our classroom. But this semester, I would like to make this more of an active experience for each of my students by connecting each of them with an educator on Skype so that they can experience a virtual, synchronous conversation with this technology. They have no PLN established and have no way to find their own connections, so I have set up a Google spreadsheet with some information and a place for educators to volunteer to connect with one of my students. If this is something that is of interest to you, you can read more about it and add your own information by visiting the spreadsheet here.

Also, feel free to pass this information along in whatever channels that you use.

Thanks so much!
Steve

UPDATE 2/25/2010: The project has begun, but I will most certainly repeat the project in future semesters in one shape or another, so feel free to still add your name to the linked list above!

I teach an undergraduate class for pre-service teachers called Technology for Teaching and Learning at Kansas State University. I would be interested in some type of collaboration via skype. You can check out my website at http://cyndidannerkuhn.info as well as my course site, Just click on the DED 318 Class link. If you are interested in doing something shoot me an email and we can figure it out. cyndidk@ksu.edu

Hi there! I am a primary school teacher in Malaysia. My students are at the range of 7 to 12 years old and I have started using skype in my classroom with my 10 years old students since 2007. Would there be a way where I could join your project?

If you would like to discuss issues surrounding teaching and technology with a student of mine, that would be fantastic. The time difference may be somewhat of a challenge, but I'll leave that up to my students. What they will do is select an individual based on the variables that work for them. We'd love to have you if you'd like to add your name to the list.
