PreK Teacher Meeting by Video Conference

This year, it was my goal to get at least one of my Distance Learning districts to use video conferencing for meetings about topics other than video conferencing.

I am going to meet with some preschool teachers by video conference today. It's kind of exciting because we are meeting about a web site and collaborative drive they are going to use. They want help figuring it all out.

Since I couldn't be there in person today, I suggested a video conference meeting. They bravely agreed to participate that way.

They want to learn how to use the district's new collaborative drive, so I will be able to show them my computer screen by switching my video source to my computer while I demonstrate how to make folders and save there.

I will also show them their new website of early childhood resources and how to add hyperlinks to it.

How do you use video conferencing with educators?

Hornell DL Overview

We are doing an overview of the GST Distance Learning Service for Hornell elementary teachers today. We'll be talking about ways to use video conferencing in the classroom; IVC projects offered around NYS; content providers we enjoy; etc. Then we will connect with the Cleveland Museum of Art to talk about programs that they offer and to answer teachers' questions.

Would you like us to do a presentation for your staff? Let us know! DL @ gstboces . org
