How can we improve the contacts between the schools, especially between classes:

Equipment for chat:

Berlin: 1 web cam, 12 connected computers but in one room, ? Headsets

Barcelona: 2webcam, 1-3 computers in every class, every class has a computer connected to the internet (10), 3 headsets

Arhus: 0 web cams, 11 computers in the classrooms, (in school 100), 3 headsets

Vöcklabruck: 3 web cams, in every class one computer , 3 headsets

A good web-cam for example is Philips tuoFUN

Programs for our communication:

Ø We shall use also msn-chat in the future.
Ø If anybody finds another good chat-program he should send the address to all of the others.
Ø For voice and video chat we shall try yahoo chat in the next year: Therefore every participant has to download yahoo-messenger from www.yahoo.com. Version 5.5.
Ø Mogens or Emmerich shall create a comenius-chatroom in yahoo.
Ø The participants send her yahoo-mail address and the nickname to Mogens or Emmerich to get an invitation for the chat room.

Ø We have to announce this also in the MSN- Comeniusteacher.
Ø The date of chat will be every Wednesday at 20:00

It would be good when at each coordinator from the school could introduce the teachers how to use yahoo chat!!!

Ø Chats between pupils should be prepared before between the teachers!!
Ø The coordinators should motivate from new teachers to participate in the project!!
Ø Every pupil in video-chat needs a sign with his name!!

Ø We keep the msn-sites in future too for mails and group-chats and for all the information!
