Grades 7-12: Experiencing Videoconferencing (Possibly with GeoQuest)


Description:I am a computer teacher at an alternative high school for 9th graders in Rapid City, SD. I am eager to have students utilize our video conferencing system to provide them with experiences using different methods of communication.

In addition to focusing on how to participate effectively in a videoconference, it may be worthwhile to include a GeoQuest. We'll provide you with clues about where we live to lead your students to guess our location. Your students could do the same if you choose.

My dream would be to eventually have them connect with students from another country in hopes of creating greater cultural awareness and understanding.
Dates:May 12, 2010 - 8:15 am Mtn Time and 9:15 am Mtn Time (2 conferences)
