Stickam opens up a whole new world of communication. How great would it be if students were able to debate or collaborate with students from around the world. My short experience in Stickam confirmed the need to have a room to meet in if you want to remain uninterrupted. I found the slight video delay a little comical almost like a old Chinese movie. I curious to explore and find out what the possibilities of this tool are compared to things like Wimba and Skype. Our group Stickam session went rather well, except for getting bumped out once. It was easy to use and communicate as long as you didn't focus on the video delay. We shared some great media resources that were used throughout the program and were able to grasp a clear picture of months 10, 11, and 12...what a relief.
