It's not specifically for teaching - more for meetings - but there might be a few tips in there that will help.<BR/><BR/>I can't attach it here - so here's the link to download it from my blog:<BR/>http://videoconference.edublogs.org/2007/10/31/tips-for-multipoint-videoconferences/<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444632761666344120.post-85688995861125962842009-03-23T21:45:00.000-04:002009-03-23T21:45:00.000-04:00Hi Heather,Love the blog!I would add to this list ...Hi Heather,<BR/><BR/>Love the blog!<BR/><BR/>I would add to this list that teachers prepare students for the video conference event by completing the pre-event activities. This not only provides needed background knowledge about the topic presented, but also gets the students thinking about questions related to the topic. The teacher might generate a list of the "best questions we have come up with for the video conference." I also encourage teachers to ask for student volunteers to introduce the site and ask questions from the "best questions" list. Not every student is excited to be on camera; in fact, some are quite intimidated. Others think they want to be on camera, but suddenly develop stage fright. The "best questions" list prepares the students with thoughtful questions and provides a script for asking meaningful questions.<BR/><BR/>Please keep blogging...your work is awesome and inspiring!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761132310495812661noreply@blogger.com
