The Big Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// Skype in the classroom just got a little bit better Posted: 15 Aug 2011 02:43 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ShareSkypeEn/~3/TIuHz8NdAcc/skype_in_the_classroom_just_go.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email Over the last few months Skype in the Classroom has grown to a community of over 15,000 teachers who are collaborating on a wide variety of projects across the globe. During that period we've taken some time to sit back, listen to your feedback, and make some subtle improvements. New features include: Timezone converter: on project pages you can now check which timezone your potential partner teachers or class are in to make scheduling easier Filter: you can now filter teachers in the 'Teachers' tab by country by using the 'sort by country' drop-down menu on the left tab Bookmark: you can add 'teachers', 'resources', and 'projects' as favourites via the 'add as favourite' button and you can see them all on your profile page Project participation: If other teachers mark a project as their favourite, you can see who they are on the project page View: you can now view your own resources and projects on your profile page Share: it's easy to share resources on Twitter by clicking the 'tweet' icon Manage: you can now receive email notifications when someone comments on content that you share, by selecting the 'notify me' box when you edit your profile. We hope these changes make it a little bit easier for you to connect with colleagues and classes around the world. If you'd like to let us know what you think you can email us at [email protected] or click directly on the 'Feedback' tab on education.skype.com. Alternatively you can always follow us via Twitter or Facebook. Meanwhile, more work is in progress. Thank you to everyone who has contributed feedback so far, and to everyone who has become a valuable part of the community. -- You are subscribed to email updates from "The Big Blog."

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti -- Chela Robles E-Mail/GoogleTalk/AIM/Twitter/MySpace/LinkedIn: [email protected] WindowsLive Messenger: [email protected] E-Buddy ID: cdrobles693 Skype Name: jazzytrumpet Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/chela.robles I volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to learn more and to join us, visit: http://www.bookshare.org Visit my blog piece from Learning Ally and after reading and listening to the song selection, fill out the form which requires no CAPCHAS unless you're a robot at: http://www.learningally.org/Blog/Access-and-Achievement/144/vobId__2525/ -- Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support wiht any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To access tutorials and other goodies go to http://www.marrie.org/skype/skype.html To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] to download a tool to automate the installation of skypewatch go to this link. http://www.hrvojekatic.tk/ and for a searchable archives page go here. http://bit.ly/64Y48 thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://emissives.com/mailman/listinfo/skypeenglish_emissives.com
