Problem: Article: Skype is a popular video chat and phone program with broad platform support. A USB camera should be recognized and install its driver automatically. Some cameras may come with driver install CDs. These are not always necessary, but should be used if there are any problems with the camera. In Windows, you can check that the camera installed properly by navigating to Control Panel > Device Manager > Imaging Devices and check that your camera is listed without errors. Keep in mind your real name, username, and email can all be used as credentials for contact searches. This will allow you to make sure your camera is functioning and preview what you will look like. This is accessed in Tools > Options > Video Settings on Windows or Skype > Preferences > Audio/Video on Mac. Select the search bar and enter the name, username, or email address of your contact, then press "Search Skype". Once you locate the desired user, double-click their name and open a conversation window and press "Video Call" (video camera icon). Once the call is initiated, the recipient will need to pick up the call by pressing the green "Accept Call" button for the call to commence. Alternately, you can Press "New" to open a chat window. In the popup you can press "copy link" to send to a friend directly, or email them an invitation to the conversation. After they join the conversation, press "Video Call" to initiate the video call. Press Add to Contacts to save the user for easier access in the future. The recipient will need to accept the request on their end for them to appear in your contacts.
Summary: Download and install Skype. Connect your webcam. Launch Skype and create or log into your account. Adjust your camera settings. Initiate a video call.

Problem: Article: Work with children first on the four basic parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. For young children, these will be the concepts that are easiest to grasp. Conjunctions, interjections, determiners, and prepositions are more abstract concepts and therefore difficult for young children. Children learn best when they are engaged in an activity. When it comes to grammar and the parts of speech, try making their learning a game. Set out eight paper bags, each labeled with a part of speech. With the child, write down a variety of words on a set of notecards. Ask them to place each word in its correct speech bag. For every word they correctly place, they earn a point. Rather than present grammar as an abstract concept, try using activities that link the parts of speech to objects and actions that the child would use. One such activity can be done with a class or individual child. Write "Noun," "Adjective" and "Verb" on the board or on a piece of paper. Place an object in a bag. Have a child reach into the bag and--without looking-- feel the object. Ask them what they think it is and write their answer under noun. Ask them what it feels like and write the answer under adjective. Ask them what they would do with it and write their answer under verb. Once you have all of their answers, have them make a sentence using all three of their words. Music helps increase attention and improve memory when learning. Children may find it easier to memorize tricky grammar concepts when it is explained to them in song. There are songs available on the internet or available on children's music albums. Better yet, try to write a song with your class or child that will engage them in the creation process. Songs can provide an easier method for children to memorize the more difficult and abstract parts of speech, such as the conjunctions, interjections, prepositions, and determiners. Mad Libs is a game where one person asks the other for various parts of speech, before inserting these words into a predesigned story template. What emerges is a funny and nonsensical story. Since Mad Libs requires players to understand parts of speech, you will be testing the child's understanding of grammar. They will be so tickled by the resulting story that they will not notice that you are teaching them. This is a fun idea for a large group of children. Gather various outdoor sports equipment (such as hula hoops, cones, jump rope, and balls). Break up the children into groups. Each group must design an obstacle course using sentences that use all of the basic parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. They will describe the obstacle course to the other groups using their sentence, and the other groups must set up and perform the described action. Examples of sentences include: Quickly twirl in the green hula hoop. Gently bounce the big ball. Gracefully jump through the spinning rope.
Summary: Start basic. Make a game. Introduce tactile activities. Sing a song. Play Mad Libs. Create an obstacle course.

Problem: Article: Use a screwdriver or other flat instrument to get under the key, and pull up slightly on one of the edges. You can also use your nail. If you are working on a laptop (whether PC or Mac), the key is held in place by a flimsy plastic clip, which also serves as the spring. The keys are attached in slightly different ways on each type of keyboard, so removing them will be different on each type. If you're unsure if or how your laptop keys come off, consult your manual. Mechanical keyboards should not be fixed by prying at the keys. Most keyboards include a key puller that will remove individual key caps off of the keyboard. Don't remove all the keys at once, as you may have trouble remembering where they all go. Don't do more than a couple at one time. Clear out any obstructions or crumbs that are jamming the key or the hinges underneath. You can use tweezers or toothpicks to help. Be sure not to have so much alcohol on the swab that it drips. You don't want to leave any liquid underneath the keys, even rubbing alcohol. Gently press the key down. It should snap back into place. If using a laptop, insert the clip into the position it originally held before you place the key back into its spot.
Summary: Gently pry up the jammed key. Carefully wipe the inside of the button and the slot from which it was removed. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean off any sticky areas. Let the key and keyboard fully dry. Insert the keys back into their original places.

Problem: Article: Photographs can be damaged from exposure to water, sunlight, heat, and moisture in the air. Humidity can cause photographs to stick together, while high temperatures cause photographs to become very brittle. Store your photographs in an environment that has low humidity, is not exposed to direct sunlight, and does not experience extreme temperature fluctuations. Ideally, the temperature should be below 75 Fahrenheit. Do not store photos in a hot attic or in a garage or basement where the images may come into contact with water. Keep your photographs in a temperature-controlled section of the house, like a bedroom or hallway closet. Archival boxes and albums provide a safe environment for your photographs that keep out humidity, pests, and dust. You can find these items from online vendors and from a stationery or office supply shop. When browsing for archival boxes or albums, be sure that they are intended for photo storage and are free from acid and PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. Place a silica gel packet in the box to help offset any excess moisture. If an album or storage box is packed to the brim with photos, it may not close properly, leaving the photos susceptible to environmental damage. A box that is not filled enough may also cause damage to the photographs. When there are only a few items in the container, the images may slide around, causing damage to the edges. Be sure that the photographs are secure and that the storage bin can properly close.
Summary:
Store photos in a climate-controlled environment. Keep photos in archival boxes and albums. Properly store the photographs in a bin or album.
