Skype Activity Thread

I have been having a lot of fun with Skype. I have been Skyping my friend, a fellow SLM student and a former academic librarian, to discuss all things SLM. In addition, she has been using my library as a base for the Library Administration course. Between the snow and our busy schedules, we have been forced to use Skype for our interviews and discussions. It actually made the assignments fun. Sarah and I also Skyped as she walked me through a problem I was having with my podcast. I didn't think I would like the seeing/hearing aspect (I do most of my school work in my pajamas, and I thought that would be a bit embarrassing), but it is fun to see the other person. In addition, I am working with one of our foreign language teachers to set up a Skype-pal network with Spanish speaking students--she is really excited to see if we can work this out. We are waiting for permission from our principal to move forward, but I think the kids will really enjoy conversing, or trying to converse, with other teenagers.
