Over Seas Classroom Collaboration

I am a fourth grade teacher in Northern Michigan looking to collaborate with another fourth grade level class over seas on some projects for the students. I would like to work with Skype video conferencing if possible. This is just a fledgling of an idea right now, so I am open to any suggestions.

Opening Australia to Ed Tech Talk

Hi I have been a regular listener to teachers teaching teachers and hence have found ETT. This is my first contact. I teach health and Phys Ed and Film Studies in middle and High school. I am studying post grad by distance via the web a Grad cert in ICT and have done a brief University guest lecture on Web 2.0. Iam keen to make some connection via these Web 2.o apps. i am not sure what but we are a k to 12 school so access to grade 5 maybe possible as i also teach them one lesson a week ( Grade 5 are 10 11 yrs old ) what's the next step

Collaboration over the sea

I would be glad to be working with you, but my pupils are at the levele of upper secondary high-school. Hope you will find some teacher-collaborater. Is there any who are interested working with Programming, where groups of pupils are collaborating? Tools for collaboration would be Skype, MSN and some videoconferencing.

What age group is that grade? Year 4's in NZ are about 7/8 year olds. I'm sure there are some teachers here where I live who would be keen.

Overseas connections

Have you tried ePals?

overseas collaboration

Hi there, I don't know if you are still interested in your post but I teach at an international school in Beijing, China. I teach Year Five in the British Curriculum which is the equivalent of North american Grade Four.

I am brand new to Web 2.0 but am eager to learn though Skype video conferencing may be a little beyond me at the moment. I am open to suggestions.

Hi heather, I'm in St. Louis MO and I have a couple of teachers that would like to collaborate with you...Our students would like to start a wiki, or blog about a book and maybe perhaps skype at some time...you can email me at lane.cindy@gmail.com and I was hoping to start this sometime in January...

What do you think?
