9.1

Video conferencing as a group is much more successful than using Skype chat. It still feels foreign to sit around a table with everyone and talk to a computer, but it is much more effective than everyone being glued to their laptops having 15 simultaneous conversations. It seems as though everyone is hesitant to talk while on video and it is hard to interject while the professor is talking due to lag. There were a few more minor issues today involving the connection but restarting Skype solved them. It was another efficient meeting today, however, I’m nervous about future meetings going as smooth, especially when the professor relocates to Genova, Italy. Lag might be much more of an obstacle then.
