Video+Conferencing

=Video Conferencing= ====What is Video Conferencing?==== Video Conferencing is a way of using technology to connect people whether between schools, between regions or between countries. Using a broadband connection, a web/video camera and a television you can see and hear each other. We can help you with ideas, technical advice and access to the schools video conferencing network. Video Conferencing (VC) offers enormous potential to enrich children's learning in ways that cannot easily be achieved by other means. VC can radically alter the way children interact with one another and with the world outside the classroom walls. ====How can I use video conferencing in the classroom?==== You are a Key Stage 3 history teacher looking at England, 1066 - 1500. As part of a lesson on the Normans you link via VC to the National Archives in Kew where actors take on the characters of a Norman and a Saxon to re-enact an encounter over taxation. Your pupils question and challenge the characters and see artefacts onscreen, including the Domesday Book. You are a Key Stage 2 science teacher studying 'The Earth and Beyond'. You link your class via VC to NASA where experts lead your pupils in a discussion on living in space and then involve astronauts, who answer questions from the International Space Station. The possibilities and opportunities are endless with Video Conferencing being a powerful tool for enriching all aspects of the curriculum. =VC opportunities= In this section you will find information about and contact details for the range of different Video Conferencing opportunities available for schools.For further information click on the Video Conference title.
