On+Line+Communication

I have been on a listserve before and I like my wiki which I guess is pretty much a blog.

**AWARENESS:** One thing I really like about this class is that is making me aware of so much that is available out there in the world of technology. The possibilities are tremendous. ** LEARNING :** I went to SKYPE, established an account, and explored all the options. I had used skype with my home desk top computer when my daughter was in Africa but we didn't have a web cam. Still, SKYPE made our lives so much more pleasant when she was so far away. I think another reason I wanted to use SKYPE was because I am going to be a grandma in September and I want to be really familiar with SKPE before the baby cames. I would also like to get the rest of my family hooked up so we communicate "almost" in person.
 * EXPLORATION AND FILTLRATION**: It is fun to explore the many things that are available and see what could actually be useful to me. The one I liked the best was SKYPE.


 * APPLICATION:** I emailed Judy, one of my partners, and asked if she'd like to use SKYPE and she thought it would be fine. I called Lester and he agreed as well. We could all be available on Friday at 7:00 PM. We agreed that Lester would SKYPE me on Thursday evening so we could work out the bugs and then one of us would SKYPE Judy on Friday. So, Friday evening I experienced my first video call. HOW COOL!! I met Kit, Lester's wife, and his two dogs. They met my husband, Charlie, and my snake, Babe. We had a fun conversation! I will be using SKYPE in the future.
