During my, "in person" school visits I share my books and then I give the kids step-by-step cartooning instructions. Everyone draws along and it's great fun. I'd be VERY interested in doing a limited number of free skype sessions with elementary or middle school students just so I can learn something about how it's done. Once again, I usually charge for my school visits so I can't do an unlimited number of free sessions, but if your school is interested, I'll be happy to talk with you.

I would suggest <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/" rel="nofollow">Classroom 2.0 </a> You will find many educators around the world, ready to collaborate. @Charelene
