Yesterday we had a Skype videoconference at 5 pm (7 pm in Greece). I recorded part of it using Jing. It's 225 Mb so I'll edit it and cut into pieces so we can upload it and share it.
I used my laptop and a webcam. We were thirteen in Arafo and twelve (I think) in Mytilini.
Our students introduced themselves and we asked each other a few questions related to our personal background.
My students liked the experience and asked me to try again. This was the first videoconference for most of them and they felt a little shy.
We arrived at 4 pm and practised a little guessing the kind of questions we could ask and answer.
I wrote some netiquette tips on the board, such as "Speak English only", " Be quiet while somebody's talking", "Ask one question at least", and several possible questions to ask and answer.
