Children from such a school going from elementary to high school do not start off with the same skills for…"

We just had a marvelous week of Skyping with 3 schools in the United States. Our school here in Lima, Peru connected with Mike Litchman whom I met on this site and with 2 other schools in the Philadelphia area. We discovered that some times of the day are better than others for a good connection. Also that a conference camera is a really good investment. We used a Microsoft Life cam and were delighted with the results. Just hearing about it made the other teachers want to try it too. Your site…See More

Grace Gorman replied to Damianne President's discussion Rules of use for Student Photos"I have never posted or published a student photo with out the express written permission of the parent. And if posting online, I do not identify the student by name. It may be legal to do so but in an age of online preditors, it scares me."

Some of my classes are going to Skype with classes in the US and I want to video the call as it happens. Does anyone know if Pamela basic freeware will do the trick? I can record with the camera when using it alone but can't figure out how to do it on Skype. Can anyone help me?

"I am so new to this web2.0 stuff that it has taken me this long to find your reply. Thanks for the information. Iam learning to navigate this site but obviously I need "navigation for dummer than dummies""
Grace Gorman replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion Introductions"Doug,
I am an English teacher in Peru and I love what you have done for the book reports. Is that a special program or a website that you use to do the animation? It is a great way to get children speaking out loud - even the shy ones. I am new to…"
Grace Gorman replied to Michael Litchman's discussion Skype"Michael,
I am new to this also and very interested in trying SKYPE. Can you do it with just a regular little webcam or do you need a larger camcorder? Since my students are using English as a second language, I think I would need to do some…"

"I love the animation! How do you do that? Is it a program or a website that you go to? It is a wonderful way for shy children to speak. I teach Spanish speaking children and they are often reticent about speaking out loud. I would love to try this."

Mark Cruthers said… - Hi Grace,
With your interest in Web 2.0 Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

Steve Hargadon said… - Hi, Grace! The idea behind the workshops is to help regular teachers get an introduction to Web 2.0 and also to use the knowledge of other local educators to do so. There's more information at http://workshops.classroom20.com. I typically do come to facilitate, although I'm glad to help you understand what to do without me!
