Here is our Skype conference with Mrs. Sorey’s class in Nags Head, North Carolina.  We had some technical difficulties, but it was only our first ever Skype meeting our class had ever had.  We only managed to record about half of the voice chat, and some of that was hard to hear.  We started with video, but they couldn’t see us.  In the part we didn’t record Mrs. Evanoff said she saw a school of dolphins while driving over the bridge on her way to school!  It was an exciting experience.  We didn’t record much about Earth Day but it was sure fun!

Since we are testing on Earth Day, we are going to have our celebration head of time.  On Friday we are going to try having a video chat with a 3rd grade classroom in Nag’s Head, North Carolina.  Mrs. Sorey’s class will hopefully meet up with us virtually on Friday morning.  We will introduce ourselves, chat some about our separate locations, and discuss Earth Day.  The latter part of the chat will hopefully be recorded.

We will post the video recording here as a video podcast, but the audio will also be played during a 24-hour webcastathon on the Ed Tech Talk internet webcast channel.  A webcast is like a live radio show on the internet, it is often recorded and posted later as a podcast.

Wish us luck.
