Mary Hutz and I met with a teacher from GST BOCES, Bush Campus Building 12 today about the possibilities for the use of video conferencing in his classroom. He was concerned about the cost, but once we started to discuss ideas that involved no extra cost, he became very interested in the possibilities video conferencing had to offer his students!
We are planning a connection in March with both of his classes about how video conferencing works and how to plan for a video conference. Students will learn how to connect the equipment and how to use the remote. We plan to show the students where to locate excellent content providers, as well as low- or no-cost ideas for using video conferencing in the classroom. They will also learn how to integrate this technology into the curriculum during the 2.5 hour session.
Remember! If you have questions about ways video conferencing can be used in your own classroom, contact us! We can connect with you most any time of day by video conference, so email us and make an appointment to meet with us when it is convenient for you!
