Narrative:
After receiving the ATIS, and taxiing to the runup area for 26, I proceeded to instruct the 11 yr old boy on communication procedures. After the runup and numerous attempts to explain takeoff phraseology, we taxied short of the active and tuned in tower frequency. Tower frequency was extremely congested due to the large amount of inbound traffic. The student attempted to contact tower numerous times--blocked tower frequency xmissions to other aircraft. After the many unsuccessful attempts to contact the tower for takeoff, I continued to instruct my student to stop keying the microphone button, thus blocking xmissions for us and other aircraft. Once the student released the microphone button, I received the tower instructions which I believed were for our aircraft: 'cleared for takeoff, traffic on base for 26.' immediately after rotation tower advised us that traffic was to my left on the intersecting runway. I saw traffic Y ahead to my left and above our position and climbing and I proceeded to remain low after rotation until traffic was clear. I was unaware of change in active runway from 26 to 31.

Title: TRAFFIC CONFLICT FOR TRAINING SMA ON TKOF FROM FXE. APPARENT NON ADHERENCE TO CLRNC BY INSTRUCTOR PLT.
Narrative: AFTER RECEIVING THE ATIS, AND TAXIING TO THE RUNUP AREA FOR 26, I PROCEEDED TO INSTRUCT THE 11 YR OLD BOY ON COM PROCS. AFTER THE RUNUP AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN TKOF PHRASEOLOGY, WE TAXIED SHORT OF THE ACTIVE AND TUNED IN TWR FREQ. TWR FREQ WAS EXTREMELY CONGESTED DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF INBND TFC. THE STUDENT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT TWR NUMEROUS TIMES--BLOCKED TWR FREQ XMISSIONS TO OTHER ACFT. AFTER THE MANY UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE TWR FOR TKOF, I CONTINUED TO INSTRUCT MY STUDENT TO STOP KEYING THE MIC BUTTON, THUS BLOCKING XMISSIONS FOR US AND OTHER ACFT. ONCE THE STUDENT RELEASED THE MIC BUTTON, I RECEIVED THE TWR INSTRUCTIONS WHICH I BELIEVED WERE FOR OUR ACFT: 'CLRED FOR TKOF, TFC ON BASE FOR 26.' IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROTATION TWR ADVISED US THAT TFC WAS TO MY LEFT ON THE INTERSECTING RWY. I SAW TFC Y AHEAD TO MY LEFT AND ABOVE OUR POS AND CLBING AND I PROCEEDED TO REMAIN LOW AFTER ROTATION UNTIL TFC WAS CLR. I WAS UNAWARE OF CHANGE IN ACTIVE RWY FROM 26 TO 31.
