The monster match is quite like the project in the presentation by Jennifer Wagner " If you Host It, They Will Come"

I loved the idea. and wish to recreate it with my students . who wants to join in their classrooms?

Saba - you're right it's similar - the difference is the tool used to connect. What technology are you hoping to use to do this with your class? Also do you want to do a live meeting (like videoconference) or something online (which works better for crossing some time zones)..... if you share more information of what you are thinking, then it is more likely that someone attending the conference will want to partner with you.....

you struck the right right cords!

i really want to host something like that , but time zones are a problem, also there are not too many active participants from my country which makes it difficult further
