Skype with Ingrid:Mason – We’re streaming Dec 1

Filed under: Important class updates — ingridwardmba590 @ 1:29 am

Hi Guys,

Just had a Skype session with Mason that went well.  I did do an interview (of sorts) that I recorded while we were talking and I will attempt to cut that into smaller segments and post on my blog.  I actually like that he isn’t coming in that it affords me an opportunity to learn the streaming and video editing stuff more.

Problem:  I am still trying to figure out how we will live stream.  If we use Skype, then how do we project on the big classroom screen from my laptop?  If we could figure out how to use UStream and call in a Skype session from there, we could just use our individual computers to view the session via a UStream Channel I set up for this  :) 

Any suggestions are very much appreciated and welcomed  ingrid.ward.mba590@gmail.com.

Bottom Line:  Streaming is a go and we’ll plan on using Skype in some capacity.  I won’t go as far as guaranteeing  success (could in fact easily fall on face :)  It is worth a try none-the-less.  

I told him I would send a schedule and it may be around 8ish (Claudia? mayby you can give me a time range).  I’ll repost when I get the video up.

Thanks.   Ingrid. 

PS.  Sorry for being off-line from this blog for a spell, lots of things were going on.

    I think you can simply plug in your laptop to project overhead with sound. I know Skype requires an application install, but I’m not sure about Ustream. If it doesn’t require an install, why not just use the computer that is there in the classroom?
