Mary E Collins replied to bridget halverson's discussion Skype to Benefit My Students"Wow Rich! Wish I was as " techy" as you. I use a Smartboard and have made a few lessons but they don't look as nice as yours! I have been enjoying Skyping with our penpals in Texas and next month we are to begin Skyping with a school…"
Mary E Collins replied to bridget halverson's discussion Skype to Benefit My Students"I have been Skyping with a pen pal class in Texas.

Mary E Collins replied to Faith Shabat's discussion 2nd Grade Reading Buddies"Faith,
I know my VoiceThread identities were tiny so you probably could not tell they were the students' names. They drew their names on half sheets of paper and I scanned them in. That would take you a long time with 200 students. If you…"

Wonderful ideas! I am a second grade teacher in Illinois looking for other 2nd grade collaborators so thought I would put a word in here in case any of you know of someone you can connect me with. For more on some of my ideas check out my post…"

I have used skype with the video camera on my computer. This worked pretty well. I found lots of classes on Epals at www.epals.com that wanted to connect.
Good luck!"
Mary E Collins replied to Mary E Collins's discussion classroom videoconferencing advice"Hi Greg,
I think I went "over the top" with the teacher who originally proposed the idea of videoconferencing with me. Do you think you might have a 2nd grade teacher who might be interested? Here is what I would tentatively like to do if…"

Thanks!"
Mary E Collins replied to Mary E Collins's discussion classroom videoconferencing advice"Thanks Greg,
I won't know more about the set up until I am able to get back into school but I am trying to do much of the research now. I will definitely get back to you if it does not work out with the teachers I am currently trying to get…"

Hello,I saw a previous post on this but not many replies to the person's question. Actually, I have 2 questions. I need suggestions for making videoconferencing between 2 or more elementary classrooms a success and recommendations for a webcam purchase. I will be using Skype and a Smartboard with 2nd graders. Thank you. Mary BethSee More
