[|**//STEVE OKEEFE//**] I have been producing Skype programming for K-12 classrooms for two years. Much of that work was for The LIVEbrary, a project from Annick Press to bring authors into classrooms. We used a variety of technologies other than Skype, too, including ooVoo, FreeConferenceCall, and simple text-based chat. I also teach authors how to use Skype to present online programs and reach into schools. Just last week, I used Skype videochat to teach a class for the Arizona Book Publisher’s Association. All of these technologies are very exciting. I teach Internet Public Relations at Tulane University in New Orleans and have taught for many years at such places as PMA’s Publishers University, Stanford University’s Professional Publishing Program, UCLA Extension, Rowan University, and the PRSA International Conference. I’m co-founder of the International Association of Online Communicators and author of the currently out-of-print book, “Publicity on the Internet.” I taught my mother (80+ years) how to use Skype and wrote an article about it for The PMA Independent. Here’s a link for those who are new to Skype: [] And I’ve done a review-up of Skype tutorials available online. You’ll find that piece at the LIVEbrary Blog: [] >>> >>> October 23, 2009 at 12:57 pm [|edit] Please email me so we can discuss the topic discussion and time for our students to meet. >>> burikjason@mail.montourschools.com

My students are 17 years old and are studying what we call advanced placement or university level English. We are exploring the topic of “wisdom through the ages”, and non fiction writing as well as the art of posing the Argument. Some of the topics that my students will debate are: social justice, climate change and shift, and global politics. I am especially interested in my students meeting yours because of the cultural differences. My students and I are African American and Caribbean. This exchange will truly help my students become global citizens. Let me know what you think? Hope to hear from you soon. >> Tracy Reply > November 4, 2008 at 3:32 am [|edit] I am a pre k teacher from Louisiana. I am interested in finding other educators who use skype.

We currently have two classes at MHS. Advanced Web 2.0 and Standard Web 2.0. Last year was the pilot year for Web 2.0, and it went so well they carried the returning students over to Advanced Web 2.0. Our class has created as Wiki, [], which we worked on last year and it is now completed. What we would like to do is Skype with other classes to talk about Web 2.0 using our Wiki as a resource. For younger students we can talk to them about Internet safety. We are open to any educational effort so we can apply Skype to the classroom.

I had heard some good things about it, and after getting an account for class I have been very impressed with how well it performs and how many possibilities it presents. Just this evening the local news had a story from Fayette, Ohio about a student with cancer. The local public school technology director made the needed preparations for this boy to “attend” all of his classes using Skype. The building has wireless access throughout, so it was very workable. Another good use would be for after school tutoring or evening help. I sometimes get phones calls about math problems, and a Skype call with video would be quite effective. Hours would have to be set! Another use is explained on the following web site. It offers free 10-15 minutes Skype contacts with authors, with longer contacts possible for a fee. [] Another great website appears to be The EduSkypers Phonebook, a blog which lists educators looking for contacts to have Skyping experiences in their classroom.

I am an EFL teacher from Russia. I have 2 groups of students who are very different in their age, level of English and goals. The first one is a group of 6 teenagers who are eager to find foreign partners for Skype video communication. My students are in the 8th grade (13-14 year olds). Their first language is Russian, but they are learning English as a foreign language. We prefer to skype once a week. Our time zone is GMT+5. We meet on Monday (11:10 a.m. – 12:35 p.m.), Thursday (10:20 a.m. – 11:50 a.m.) and Friday (11:10 – 11:50 a.m.) If any of this time suits you, please contact me. The second group consists of 7 kids (8-9 year olds). They would be happy to find foreign friends for skyping as well. They are not very fluent in English but they can tell you about themselves, about their families, pets and school. They are very responsible and interested. My younger kids meet on Monday (10:20 – 11:00 a.m.,14:35 – 15:15 p.m.) Wednesday (11:55 a.m.– 12:35p.m.), Thursday (8:30 – 9:10 a.m), Friday(10:20 – 11:00 a.m.) This time is GMT+5.
