Title: Skype and Seek
We initially started with a concept of using Skype and providing participants with objects and categorizing them in a similar way as the app game Pictureka. In the second week we changed the concept a little in terms of categorizing objects. We set up two computers in one room and two in the other, all using Skype accounts. There were two teams, with each having a team captain that would give in instructions to their relay team members communicating through skype. There were two rounds of the game. Two members of opposing teams would relay from the classroom to the object room, receive instructions of what type of object to find and place them on the table. Then return to the room and one of their team mates would relay next to the object room. A few examples of an object instruction: Something that gives light, something that makes noise, something that makes leaves a mark etc. We had two projections in the classroom so the other classmates would be able to see the other room.
Problems we encountered: We had feedback at the beginning in the room of objects which we weren’t expecting, and I found that to film in a small room was difficult as there wasn’t much room to stand far enough back. But overall I think it was successful and we had fun.
