Skype Call
Hi everyone,
The Skype call we made to Canada went pretty well. Everyone was pretty exited. We had our web cam and microphone set up so we could easily talk. People from our class asked questions and the Canadian class answered them. They also asked us questions, about Tasmania, what we do in our spare time and about Australian animals.
We asked them about Canada, and gave them a quiz on Australia. They knew some of the answers. They also gave us a quiz, but on Canada. Most of us didn’t know to many of the answers though. We talked to them for over half an hour, but had to cut the call short because it was the end of the school day for them.
Once we had finished the call, Miss W had us write a list of what we could have improved during the call. We came up with: doing more preparation on what questions we were going to ask, researching on the place we were calling, having the equipment (web-cam and mic) in the right spot so everyone can be seen and it’s easy for people to get to the mic. We also need to be a better audience and not interrupt the person at the mic who is talking, or interrupting the other end of the call when they are talking.
The next time we make a Skype call, we will use these points and try to improve!
