First, create your gmail account.
Second, create your calendar account.
This is an on-line calendar that means that you can share with your friends, and that’s what we do. So once you get in, under your name (on the bottom left) click on “manage calendar”. On the next screen click on “add calendar”. On search type “BrazilianAssociation” and then click to add. You can go back to your calendar now.
You just added one more calendar to your calendar.
Go to http://www.skype.com/ , download skype and create an account.
Once you have skype on, just go to “Live” right below your name. Go to the bottom of the page and click on “create your skypecast”. Under “subject” put “English Conversation “your name”-BA”, under “when” put right now, under “picture” add the BA logo (download from the web). On the next page just click “agree” and you are good to go.
Now you can decide any time that you want to host a class and post on the BrazilianAssociation calendar, so everybody in the world can see that you will be hosting a class in English conversation.
To host a class at anytime
Go to your calendar account and on the BrazilianAssociation calendar, not on your calendar (you can see that colors are different when you add things on your calendar or the BA one), add your name on the date/time that you want to host it. In a matter of 5-10 minutes that will be public.
Go to your skype account, click on “live” and go to your “English conversation-BA” thing.
Once you are inside your skypecast you will see that you have total control of anybody that join the class, you can allow them to speak or not.
Go to the BA homepage and look to see what is the “code” to join a class. A code world is just a way that we figured out so we make sure that people go to our website first and then go to the class.
If anyone wants to join your class they have to go to the BA homepage also and look for the “code”. They will join your class but they need to type the code for you so they can be accepted as a student, if they don’t type the code just tell them to go to the website and look for it.
Please try to limit the size of the class to about 5 people (at maximum) so everybody can speak.
Please report anyone to: mramos1@wisc.edu, and we will make sure that he/she won’t bother other teachers
