I remember
The first time I bought a computer for my children was 15 years ago. I didn't want to touch it for I was scared that I could damage it. I never had interest at all until the time all my kids moved to Washington. I told them to bring the computer with them. When I enrolled in a class that I had to do some research, I was advised to buy a new computer. I went to Computer 2000 to buy one. The dealer set it up for me and asked him to teach me how to turn on and off. I practiced typing and emailing until I learned basic skills. I become motivated to use the computer to communicate with my children. I also learned how to download Skype and often talk and see my family through skype.

Get active in your social networks - Edmodo, Classroom 2.0, etc. Once you start making your contacts around the world you can set up a Skype call. Just post a request: i.e. Guam science class looking for Skype partners. See what happens.
