Question: I am extremely interested in using Skype in our Global Ed program. Do you give workshops or have good reference materials to pass on to me?
My Response:
Hi,
I webcast weekly at http://www.edtechtalk.com and Skype is the program we use to conference the participants together. I am going to give a workshop in the fall in Baltimore, but I think that with skype and a partner school, you can get this going.
I posted some directions on how we video conferenced with china here: http://www.learning-blog.org/2006/12/05/video-skyping-with-china/
There are so many resources out there. I would check out the Webheads in Action: http://webheadsinaction.org/ for a great group of international teacher where you can create these types of connections. Also, check out http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com/.
I hope this helps.

Secondly, I would point to Jim Heyndrickx’s NAIS presentation resources:

Lastly, I would suggest you check out the Women of Web 2.0 (WOW2) who also do webcast on Tuesdays. There are a number of skype users.
