After you launch Skype, click on Tools in the Skype toolbar. Go to Options, and then select Video Settings. In the drop down menu you'll find the AverMedia doc cam listed, click and save, and then save again. close the window and it should work for you. Just a side note: I am currently using a MacBook running Windows XP and it has crashed on my a couple of time before. However, when I was running a Windows only laptop I did not experience any issues. Please post and let the forum users know if you had any issues. Thanks! FYI - If you are using Windows, I will be testing the network settings and capabilities found within the Aver+ software today. If all works out, you won't need to use Skype with your doc cam other than using Skype for your audio.

I would definitely use a document camera to take advantage of Skype so that our students can interact with each other even though there is a distance that separates us.

If you could find pen pals from another county with Skype, each class could present information about their culture to the other class using Skype.

I know what it's like to try and get other teachers on board. When I wanted to skype with my co-workers in different buildings I just had to bite the bullet and set it all up myself and then walk them through it slowly. Once they got it working, they loved it and now they can't get enough.
