You now have a choice for long distance learning: Skype or DimDim
Tim has been using DimDim successfully in his class, but I haven’t had a chance yet to use it. I’m very excited about the possibilities it provides both the teacher and the student.
I have an advanced student who is living in Maryland now and wants to continue taking classes. So, last week I tried Skype and we had a successful class meeting! It was great seeing her “in person” again. The rest of the class members enjoyed hearing her comments during our discussions. I had tried Skype once before with a woman in Canada, and the problem I had with it was a weak internet connection here in Greenville. But now, that has changed! You can now DimDim or Skype!
So, if you don’t live in the Greenville area and still want to take classes from us, just let us know and we can set you up through DimDim or through Skype. It will be like sitting in the classroom with us. You’ll be able to participate in all ways, and yet stay home in your pajamas (or whatever). Heh.
