Using Skype to Collaborate with Teachers and Students: Classroom 2.0

I just received the following email from Classroom 2.0:

A message to all members of Classroom 2.0

The topic this Saturday is: "Using Skype to Collaborate". Our special guest will be Wes Fryer, author of the blog and podcast "Moving at the Speed of Creativity." Wes always has tons of ideas to share and his energy and creativity will definitely leave you wanting to hear more! He will share various ways Skype can be used to collaborate with other classrooms, educators and VIPs--the sky's the limit. Our Newbie Question of the Week will be: "What is 'Skype' and why do I want it?". We hope you'll join us to share your ideas and questions.

The show lasts an hour, and links for more information and logging can be found at http://live.classroom20.com. We strive to make our shows very beginner-friendly, and if you've never participated in a live web meeting, don't be afraid to come and take a peek at the show's format. We love newbies to join us and 'dip their toes' in the conversations until you feel comfortable enough to "jump in the conversations with both feet"! We want to encourage "experienced Web 2.0 users" to join us and contribute and extend the conversation by providing real-life examples and tips/suggestions. See the website to suggest future show topics!
