Video conferencing

Today we are takig part in a Regional Lead Network workshop on video conferencing and online desktop sharing (great for having students do collaborative work). Several companies such as Polycom, Webex, and Smart offer different formats and platforms. As with our recent visit to Smart HQ with some Dutch teachers, we are very eager to explore the opportunities this software presents, especially when used in conjunction with interactive whiteboards or student laptops.

we use webex extensively inconjunction with AT&T teleconferencing for the audio portion. You can take votes/polls, as well as sharing apps or presenting ideas.
