Narrative:

Was talking to mke approach and was busy helping student set up approach. Noticed radio silence. Student had accidentally swapped frequencys. I could have used more vigilance to ensure a better radio scan. Mke informed us that they had been attempting to get a hold of us and there had been a traffic conflict.
