I too would be interested in any information you compile about using Skype. Alan November was just discussing the plus side of using Skype with students. Technology leaders in our district were just discussing this after the workshop at Tech Expo '08. nredtech@gmail.com

I actually use Skpe on daily basis with another STAR member to communicate with our classes. We presented at the annual PETE & C conference last month. I have a wiki set up for connecting people in the state but would love to see it grow national with many teachers registrating. You can find it at http://petecskypeme.pbwiki.com/.

Because of a project my students were invloved with for thecounty, we needed to do a videoconference. Unfortunately we were unable to use the district's technology. But, fortunately, we turned to Skype and it worked well! I would LOVE to find a way to use Skype with other teachers/educators! I teach 6th grade Language Arts (this year). If anyone wants to Skype me... Krista.Hanna .

Check out eduwiki.us. We are a community of PA educators (mostly) but it's growing in numbers. There you will find a number of us using skype. My district blocks it because of it's supernode capabilities (and P2P), but we found a work around to protect our network from the dangers of skype. WE will be tsting it soon. Go to the Who's Who page on Eduwiki for a list of us, and come join the space and join in on the fun!

For some reason, our district allowed it but now we cannot seem to use it. No one seems to know why?!
What other alternatives are people using??

I would like to Skype with AP students from anywhere across the country. I would think of these students as peer tutors. It can be done within the classroom, or be on call during a study hall . Something like a Skype Homework Hotline. Contact me at standhartt@schenectady.k12.y.us

I'm interested. I have a large Arts Festival coming up in May. I'd love to use skype to connect my students k-8 with students any where but here ( Washington, DC suburb).
Maybe by reciting a poem or singing a song. I am looking for some cultural exchange. Any one interested?

I'm interested. I'm planning to take my kids/second graders from Memphis along with a few other grades/classes to a African cultural awareness festival in April. I'm not familar with skype, but I'm willing to investigate it in order to share with you.

Hi! I teach first grade and am interested in my students talking to other students around the country. I live in the Chicago area. How old are your students?
Have a great day!

I actually have all the teachers I work with in core areas using Skype. There is another program which allows for up to 6 users to conference at once called ooVoo. Link:
It is not as widely known as Skype but has the same functions and a couple more advantages. Give it a try you might like it.

I work in Jefferson Parish -- Louisiana -- and we are going to be training teachers during the summer on Web 2.0 tools (podcasting, blogging, Skype) I'm sure that we'll be looking for others to communicate with during the year. Please let me know if you'd be interested in collaborating with teachers in our district.

Just wondering how you all are getting permission from your districts to use skype in your classrooms?! My district is super protective (as it should be) of student security and we are prohibited from using skype in the classroom or with students at all.
Are there other teachers who are using Skype video conferencing in their classrooms? I have recently started to develop a network of teachers doing this, and I am looking to expand this as wide as I can.
