Yugma & Skype Experience
Yugma
- I already have Yugma.
Saturday Experience
I could see how challenging was to get ready and how some people had a very hard time to log in. So, what did I learned from this experience?
- Prepare the session in advanced.
- Check the tools in advanced.
- Try a session with a small group.
- Start the people on the chat and then when everyone is on the chat, give the instructions to join the Skypecast or dial the number to do the conference call.
- Be patient
- Have a video tutorial a week in advanced and ask the students to try to set up a call with another class member prior to the group conference.
Glen, thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Sorry I missed your Yugma invite on Tuesday night. I have to remember to set my Skype status when I am away. I see that you got a session going with Brian and Cheryl. Excellent!

We’ve been using Yugma at my office now for a couple of weeks. Its definitely a good alternative to GoToMeeting. Most of us have our own free accounts for impromptu meetings with small groups. We are planning on purchasing a few premium accounts to facilitate are larger meetings.

Glen, if you go to my new PBWiki, you can see my assignments. I like the PBWiki better.
Yes, yesterday I talked to Cheryl with Yugma and we were able to work together on the same page. It was awesome. This is an excellent way to give support. It’s excellent!

I liked reading your account of what you learned from the experience. I did a mental checklist of what I had and hadn’t done and, of course, what I could benefit from doing in the future. All this, also, translates into action within a classroom setting.
