RE: [info-tech] Skype
We have several people using Skype, and have really had no issues, other than a dropped call here and there and some bad video once in a while. In fact, we are teaching a class over it to 5 kids somewhere on the east side of the state. No real big problems. Definitely a program that we could use more of!!! We are using Lightspeed for content filtering. Have a great, beautiful weekend!!!

re: [info-tech] Skype
We use Skype quite a bit here, and have seen no major problems (technical ones, anyway). We've never really had any trouble with Skype traffic getting through, and I'm not sure why, really, because I don't feel like I've done anything special to make it work. Our firewall setup is simple, and our content filters are fairly open. --- Timothy A.

Re: [info-tech] Skype
I am 100% sure the 8e6 box is causing the issue, but the 8e6 is just doing content filtering and has no firewall rules so no ports are being blocked at that level.

RE: [info-tech] skype (or other suggestion)
We have used Skype with success from long term hospitals and other continents. I'm not all that familiar with Mac's but a headset would be a solid investment for the student. A projector or a big screen monitor seems appropriate for the classroom. The classroom should be able to get by with a simple condenser microphone, and if there is a built in camera you should be set. -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Jackie Fonley Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 3:26 PM To: Info Tech Subject: [info-tech] skype (or other suggestion) Greetings to another before the storm again day!

RE: [info-tech] skype (or other suggestion)
We had a little girl in the Middle School with cancer and purchased some Linksys cameras and put them in the classrooms. Opened up in a limited fashion the firewall to the website on the cameras. From her hospital bed she could Pan and Zoom in on the instructional area and some parts of the classrooms and could hear the teacher well. Worked really great for a couple of years until she got better and now attends class. Cost about $1000.00 for 4 cameras. -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Jackie Fonley Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 3:26 PM To: Info Tech Subject: [info-tech] skype (or other suggestion) Greetings to another before the storm again day!

Skype would be a definite possibility. I know that some folks have some issues with the security and Skype's desire to use all your bandwidth, but it should be great for this.

Re: [info-tech] skype (or other suggestion)
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.

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!

RE: [info-tech] Skype and boardrooms
Chad- West Des Moines talked about using the Lumens Flex Cams (the red ladybug as our District now knows them by) as a Skype camera. Can't vouch for it, and don't know about the microphone idea either. But, it is on my list of things to check out.

Re: [info-tech] Skype?
Chad, I use Skype personally to stay in touch with my daughter who is currently studying in Egypt. I have visited with a couple of teachers who will be teaching ancient civilizations with their middle school students, and there is a possibility my daughter might Skype with a class or two to talk about what she has seen and to compare/contrast her impressions of modern Egypt with ancient Egypt. We also have some of our AEA SLPs set up to do some therapy using Skype this year. ksa From: Frerichs, Chad Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 1:47 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech] Skype?
