2.       The results of the connection-check: Emily and Sarah have the best connection. Best sound: Seth and Carrie, because of a good microphone and a good sound card, and a fast Internet connection. Best Video: Sarah and Zandy, because they have very good webcams and fast Internet. Best stability: Emily, because of her fast internet and her stabile desktop computer. We will do the test again next month.

 

3.       Most of our teachers use laptops. But laptops have problems with cooling, because they don’t have enough space. Never put your laptop on a sofa or on the bed which has a soft surface. Keep some distance from the surface for example with sticks, if the surface of the desk is covered with a cloth. Please take the battery out of your laptop, because the battery heats your computer. I personally use a notebook cooler from aluminum with fans. And turn off your laptops sometimes, if you are free. It is very important to have a good connection with your students on Skype and to be able to use your laptops for a long time.
