Jackie,
If you find something that you think really works well, please share it.
I use skype to see my grandkids and also to talk to Scott F and David
Herzog at MCP - occasionally. We found that you can show your desktop
to the other side. I have also showed video from my flip video camera
from my desktop and it works great. You can hear the videos audio and
at the same time here both sides of the skype call.
As long as you have a strong connection signal the call goes well. My
son in Monterey, Ca has a poor signal and it breaks up all the time.
The other problem is that each side has to move slowly or you get
pixillation. Good luck with this adventure.
What is your skype address?

Greetings to another before the storm again day! The beauty,
however, has made it all bearable.
Here's the deal: an elementary student was diagnosed with cancer
several months ago, will be starting his chemo treatments again
shortly. It was suggested maybe we could use Skype and he could
connect with the classroom while he is in Iowa City this time
around. I know enough about Skype to know the general
workings . . . but not enough to say this is the way to go or to
even know what things may we need to make this a go? (no, I haven't
skyped yet -- I finally joined facebook and twitter within the past
few months--baby steps!)
Ideas . . . suggestions . . . . equipment needed . . . . anything
to get me going in the right direction with this? Teacher has a
MacBook Pro with 10.40.11
Appreciate the help!
Jackie
