Did you see that Skype is developing their own Skype in the Classroom Directory?
It’s supposed to come out in December, and you can pre-register now.
I am very excited about this development. Right now there are a several scattered sites and places to find people, but one central location would be super helpful.
While we’re waiting, these are the places I know of where you can find Skype partners. Do you know any others?
- Global SchoolNet The oldest (1995) Internet projects registry; lots of Skype projects
- Skype in Schools Wiki: Directories of schools, resources & more
- Skype Other Classrooms and Country School Terms & Breaks Calendar by Sue Waters
- The EduSkyper’s Phonebook
- The Mixxer: for language learners
- Skype for Educators
- Classroom 2.0: search the discussions for Skype. Some people post requests for partner classes here.
- Global Explorers: Skype in the Elementary Classroom
- Around the World with 80 Schools
