Hi Beth:
would you be interested in collaberating together? The 6th graders at my school are studying about China and we would love to speak to someone from your country. We are from a city in Texas, United States of America. Ironically the name of our city is China.
Please contact me if you are interested.
thanks,
Susie Brooks

YES--that could be fun--keep in mind if we skype--I am 14 hours different--
So when it is 10:30am at your school—it will be 12:30am the following day at our school (or for you--2:30pm/ for us 4:30am).
Yes--it would be fun to talk and get what your focus is on.
My husband keeps a runnning blog (may not be appropriate for 6th grade, but you may want to have a look and he has lots of photos). See http://rudenoon.com/absalletc/

Beth, I am the Technology Facilitator at a 3rd through 5th grade school in Edenton, NC. Would you be interested in our classes connecting to read books to each other? We celebrate a Read Across America Day in March to honor Dr. Seuss. However, our school is celebrating the last week in February because of a writing test. We are looking to connect with others globally to share favorite stories. My school email address is dgoodman@ecps.k12.nc.us Thanks, Deborah

Is anyone interested in Skyping with my third grade group from Wisconsin, US? We are studying communities and I would love for them to see/ask questions of kids that live in communities different from their own. We would need to work out the time zone thing somehow, but I think we could do it. lind.tammy@sdsm.k12.wi.us

Hello
Is anyone interested in Skyping with me to demonstrate the possibilities of integrating skype into the classroom? I would love to show other teachers how easy it is. And it would only be for five minutes.
