It is extremely important that there is a task master. The main job of the task master is to make sure that everyone is on task and is doing well. You need to make sure people are answering and asking questions. If they haven't asked a question or submitted one they you need to politely remind them that a Mystery Skype is a team effort and suggest that they enter a few questions instead of researching. You might want to give them a suggestion like "We know there state starts with A-L. How can we cut that in half?" Also, make sure that people have the tabs that they need open like a google maps tab, our spreadsheet (Mystery Skype #_ at paulsolarz.weebly.com/mystery-skype) and also maybe a new tab for quick researching. If people are off task or aren't prepared to do something than a Mystery Skype will go to long and you will have to cancel. Thus, it is extremely important to have a task master that know what they are doing and is actually doing it.
If you don't do this job the Mystery Skype won't work. If people are off task they aren't getting any work done. I have been in Mystery Skypes where there are no questions submitted and/or there is nobody working on the answers. The other team is confused and we don't know what we are doing. The Mystery Skype is very boring that way and the other class starts to think that we aren't responsible enough to be doing this. Make sure that you are being polite when you remind people and get your questions/answers submitted as well
