hi Scott
Great site, it’s great to see someone else shares our passion at http://www.VoxSwap.com to get people using Web 2.0 sites to learn from one another.

Tell me, do you think there is great potential in using the web to teach – ie over Skype. I’d be really interested to hear if this is something you have tried and with what success.

Keep up the great work,

Sean

Hello Scott,

Great idea! What country are you from? What’s the general reaction students have to these videos? What are some of the common challenges and difficulties students have?

Sincerely,
Anthony

Hi, Scott–

It was great to see you in NYC!

I hadn’t been to your website in awhile–it looks great. (I had to see how the love story you showed prior to your presentation ended!)

I’m still working on getting my students to post their projects on YouTube. Some of my Saudi students are hesitant (actually, much more than hesitant) to put their images online for cultural/religious reasons. I discussed it again in today’s class, in hopes of warming them to the idea.

Thanks again for mentoring me this past year with regard to using video in my classes. It really has made my job (not to mention my classes) a lot more fun!

All my best,

Marjorie

Great website and lovely idea for your students to produce vids for youtube.
This the first vid I came across when searching for fashion stuff for my students so am commenting here.

Crisp delivery, well presented. Well done. Very professional!
