Tuesday evening from 4:00pm to 7:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time I’ll be teaching the last of four sessions of a class called: I Want to Integrate Writing, Technology and Field Experiences Into A Crammed Curriculum. How? to 17 K-12 teachers. The night’s topics are TeacherTube, digital video and Skype/conferencing software. I’d like to be able to do a demo of Video Skype but my usual helpers are not available. Is there anyone able to join us for just 1 to 3 minutes? Intro yourself, tell about how you use video conferencing, other ways you see value in using it. If you think you can help out leave a comment with your Skype name and email address and when you are available (I’m looking at between 4:15 and 5:45 PDT) I’ll get back to you ASAP.
Hi Brian
We’re an Intermediate Class in New Zealand that would be in class at the time you’re doing your presentation. It would be Wednesday 11.00am for us when it’s Tuesday 4pm for you. We would be in class until 12.30pm. We use skype in our class all the time for various reasons such as peer mentoring with younger classes and for collaborative projects with schools in other countries. If we can help you, we’d be very pleased to do so.
Sorry, I left out our skype name:- it’s room18tis.
I shall log on as soon as I get home — 4:30 PST.

Great – Sagittarian how about 11:30 (your time) and Jennifer – 4:35 PDT?
Thanks to both of you!
If I can hook up the webcam at home, I’m in. I get home around 5pm today. Skype name = mrsdurff email=ldurff@broadfording.com You can Skype chat too. It gets my attention, which has wandered five times while I type, as I am in English class. I have never used videoconferencing with Skype. I used the Breeze server another school had. My 7th grade began their collaborative wiki projects that way.
