Skype?

[Brenda]

Hi All,

My kids have been having a lot of fun talking on skype with friends while they are playing various online games (WoW, toontown, etc) We do not have an unschooling group near us so this has been lots of fun for them to chat with other kids. I thought I would put it out here to see if anyone else's kids want to "meet" up and chat on skype while playing together online.

Hi Beth,

That would be great! Let me know if she wants to try chatting on skype. We have a webcam also. The great thing about skype is you can either, instant message, voice chat, or use a web cam to chat. It is really fun! Our chat names are bluemom28 (me) Jazmin (jazminandunicorn) Alex (alexfire2000) So when you guys get set up you can add us if you want. It will ask us if it is ok for you to add us. That is great that Allie got her own laptop, we LOVE having our own laptops! It makes life so much easier!

Hayden's a Skype Professional :)
You can find him by searching either Hayden Jenner or HeyHay98 (he's not awake for me to clarify ::bg::)
AND if *we* happen to be in the room at the same time... hee hee hee WE can talk, too!!

Not sure about skype, but we do have WOW toons and are always looking for people to play with.

Great! We love to play on WoW! We have tried using the talking feature on WoW and it is very choppy but with Skype running it isn't. Since Alex is not fully reading yet, the chatting makes it easier to play for him. We play under Venture Co, Rivendare, & Bronzebeard and I think a few others. Alex loves creating new characters and checking out what each class/race does. Let us know if you want to hook up and play.

I wanted to tell everyone that we have made some connections on skype and it feels so good! We have been having a blast and hope to hook up with more unschoolers!!

My son "Naruto" loves to chat while playing WoW or Roblox.
WE just got WoW so he needs help on that!!!!
By the way he is 6 and just begining to read. SO he will be able to read some words like poop, noob, kill, play, Mario, etc

We just started on skype. Some great unschooling friends recently moved to Fla, making visiting a few times a month impossible. (Damn them!) So, we signed up and it has been so great. They play Runescape and Webkins, as well as showing each other things, and just hanging out.
Our skype name is djdmpeace.
I'm sure it would be a nice way to connect!

Hi Jean I will add you guys this morning.

My son, Holden is 7.5 and is interested in making new friends to play Roblox and WoW with on-line. He is taladria on Skype. He wants more unschooling friends! :O)

He has many characters on WoW on Whisperwind of all levels (1-73) . He is on the alliance. But he'll make new characters on any realm.

Thanks!

Hi there your skype post caught my eye and I just wanted to say, what a good idea :D

Our son is three, and loves to use the computer. Though WOW is out of our league for a while, perhaps skype contact with some others is just what we could do with. Food for thought, cheers!
