For a successful Skype it is important to get organised:

 * 1) Organise a time (be aware of time differences)
 * 2) Prepare the room. Can all the students be close to the mic? Or do you need a hand-held microphone?
 * 3) Can all the students be seen on the screen? We want to see the other class and they want to see us.
 * 4) Prepare interesting and relevant questions.

Skype Behaviour

 * Respectful listening
 * Be patient and wait for a response.
 * Stand when you are asking your question so the other class knows who is talking.
