I’m wondering how Oprah and the other tv outlets get the image from Skype onto their broadcast? I’d like to use it for my cableshow where kids report on the positive things that are happening around the world but am not sure how they work around that. We could really get some good interviews that way!

I emailed her publisher and he put me in touch with her. We did the interview from the publisher’s office, and she spoke for a while, then took questions.

Pia: How did you get connected with that author? Did you email the author directly using the author’s website, or use a content provider directory to locate them and their contact info?

I can’t think of a more perfect implementation of Skype in the classroom. Thanks for sharing that!

Skype allowed me to set up an amazing interview between my 9th grade students (in California) and the author of the novel we were studying (in New York). Seeing a real human face and knowing that the book we had spend months reading and analyzing came from an actual person made a huge impact on my students. Also, they were able to ask and receive answers to questions about the novel, background and writing process that were specific to their interests and the lens through which we studied the book.
