And the whole point is that it has to be free-I don't think I'd get funding for the international call in peak time. But thanks for the suggestion.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-27821865907320325192008-04-27T10:53:00.000+10:002008-04-27T10:53:00.000+10:00The other thing we could on a similar view is what...The other thing we could on a similar view is what <A HREF="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2008/04/excluding-midwives-from-learning.html" REL="nofollow">Leigh suggested</A> and that is put the slideshow on Flickr and then talk through the slides with Skype. The students can watch on the big screen. It would be a lot fussier but at least it would work.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-20822237883445583372008-04-27T10:47:00.000+10:002008-04-27T10:47:00.000+10:00Great idea, Sandra - will do that.Great idea, Sandra - will do that.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-8461047677872942642008-04-27T10:23:00.000+10:002008-04-27T10:23:00.000+10:00I think this is great initiative Sarah.

It would be good during this meeting to discuss online communication perhaps also talking about skype and msn as other ways that these students could continue to connect with their peers once they are out in the big wide world of midwifery. They will have so much to share as they begin this new journey and so much they can learn from each other. <BR/>Great idea of Sandra's as a back up in case the technology lets you down.<BR/>Well done organising this, I am sure everyone will get a buzz from it.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464510128406258242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-64242668144865701412008-04-27T03:37:00.000+10:002008-04-27T03:37:00.000+10:00Great idea Sarah - good luck with that!

That way if you can't talk to each other the two groups can still 'hear' and 'see' what the other country has to offer...Sandra Eliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321019403320834619noreply@blogger.com
