    Skype is a free chat and calling tool you can download to your computer, or install the app on your smart phone.

    My skype ID is jendalby if you'd like to add me. I don't keep it on all the time, but if you see I'm available, feel free to start a chat.

    Jennifer, Have you ever used Skype to bring a live visitor into a classroom for a presentation, or used it for multiuser conferencing? Just curious if Skype supports those ...

    I haven't used it for multi-user in a while, but I know you can. I'm always hearing about teachers bringing guests into the classroom with Skype. Check out http://education.skype.com/ or just search for Skype in education.

    Jennifer & Bruce - I have used Skype for collaboration on projects which require we look at and edit shared documents and simply, have the need to discuss projects for about 60 minutes at a time. For classroom use, you can't see the individual "real time," but you do hear their voice.

    Jennifer and Helen... Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about using Skype in the classroom at BC, but there are security concerns from the computer admin folks - and I haven't tried it out yet.

    I have become a Skype member and can't wait to use it. I am wondering if Ellminate isn't the superior tool. I guess I will make that judgement when I actually can Skype someone.

    I hope you enjoy the video. It took a whole lot of studio takes.

    Totally relate to the "studio takes". I liked your beginning "hook" of having some introduction youtubes and the clear explanations of the tools and modules for your course and the idea of a "group" project was a wrap-up is an effective close.

    Thanks for your comments Ann. I still made a mistake when I stated Elluminate was asychronous instead of synchronous...I was not going to do it over again! I keep doing takes for several hours until I liked the tone of my voice and was so tired it had to be a "wrap!" I chose Jing and and have Jing Pro which allows me to seamlessly upload to You Tube and make video. I hope to use this tool in class for short instructive videos per module. The student can reach me by email, Skype, Elluminate or by cell ( whihc I hope to discourage a bit). I want to make certain they feel I am there and connected to them at all times. During our next class meeting on the 22nd, I want to make a camcordering of the class and upload it to jing and make a You Tube video for us to review and enjoy. I hope your willing!

    Joy, Your combination of Jing Pro with YouTube worked well for your final assignment. I was surprised how clear the YouTube video is, even in full screen format. Your course framework also seems to be a workable and inviting way to look at aging issues. One bullet point that stands out to me is: "Baby Boomer have gotten a bum rap." We're always compared to the our parent's generation, who weathered the Great Depression and WWII. I believe a lot of positive social change also took place under our watch - it's not all a bad picture!

    Thanks Bruce. The boomers are fighters and leaders! As women,"... we have come a long way baby." There is not anything bad about the picture my friend. Once you start to really read the material and connect with the accomplishments of this group, I bet money you will be very proud!
