ALEX’S VIDEO CHATTING PROGRAMS

On the other day, I installed Skype on my computer. It is a special program that people can use to communicate with each other on technology. I have a username account that says alexmasonfitzgerald@gmail.com. In order to get Skype to work, you must first add a person’s email address, then get his or her account with a  user name. Once you add a person, their picture will automatically show up if they added one to their account. You need a camera to make  this program work and have the windows open. Also,  you must have sound quality so you can speak with a microphone in order for a person to understand your voice and your speech if he or she couldn’t hear well. When you skype with me, you have to speak clearly and listen to what I say. I also have Facetime besides this program. So when you use Facetime, you  must know the person’s email address or phone number and use it on your Ipad, iphone, or your computer if you don’t have a camera for Skype. My contact information for Facetime is Alexander.fitzgerald@yahoo.com. I enjoy video chatting with my family and friends, and it’s fun to join in with friends! Your software  must be connected to each other so  they will know who to skype or facetime. These   programs are required to chatting with people who want to join in with others who live far away or can’t come to their houses. For example, I don’t use phone calls so I would use video-chatting calls on my computer or Ipad so I could talk to people,  ask them questions, and  show them the things I had done in my life. Here are the rules that are important to how you use video-chatting programs…
1.     Put your head back so you can see each others faces.
2.     Pay attention to what a person is trying to do or say.
3.     Don’t turn the program off without saying goodbye.
4.     Have fun!
5.     Be nice and ask questions and tell them some things you like to do.
