Wow. I had my first official online office hours using SKYPE, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and Google Chat. Everyone must have been waiting up :-)




It was a little rough in the beginning since everyone came at the same time. Only one student opeted to use voice SKYPE, and, unfortunately, my kids would not cooperate and the husband couldn't be torn away from baseball. Most weeks I will have a sitter here, but the sitter doesn't come when Dave is off. Grrrr.




I will need to prioritize and work with each one as they come in. I think it is hard to juggle all of the services, too, so I may cut out AIM and Google Chat.




Does anyone else use all of these tools simultaneously?
