Skype and other web services for LD communication. I was hoping to pick the
brains of those of you who've done this already.
1. Any brands of webcams to seek out or avoid? Is it worth it to get
more expensive (better?) cameras?
2. Can Skype work over a busy wireless network or should I have the
kids come to where there is a hard-wired computer?
3. Do I need/want a separate microphone (to point to specific students
independent of the webcam)?
4. Are there software/website options better than Skype? What about
the new Google Video service?
5. Can you share some of the ways your staff have used webcams to
connect to resources outside the school and break down those walls?
Thank you ISED community for all of your great ideas!
