Skype in the Classroom
Skype in the Classroom is a free online directory for teachers everywhere who want to use Skype to bring education to life. Skype offers an immediate way to help students discover new cultures, languages & ideas.

Teachers create a profile that sets out their interests, specialties, & location. They can then browse through the community to look for teachers who can offer them help, or whom they might be able to help. Once teachers find someone they’d like to connect with, they can add that person as a Skype contact, or share Skype-related teaching resources.

Join the Skype community.
