Tandberg Video Conferencing

Hello,
Our school div. has just recently put Tandberg Portable video conferencing systems in each of our schools. I'm familiar with connecting with our schools, but could really use some help in connecting with others. We are a k-5 school, and I understand the possibilities are endless. Can anyone help me out ? or lead me in the right direction?
Thanks
Rob

My district has a Tandberg unit on loan to try it out. We're doing a virtual field trip to the Bronx Zoo amongst a few other things. Our main consideration is using the media as part of a Distance Learning Lab. The is an entire DL network in place in NY State. Here is a link to our regional network. This program is of course mainly for post elementary, but you may find it of some interest. Your state may have a similar program. If you don't have a Distance Learning program in mind have the equipment on site for virtual field trips. Our elementary school plans on using the Tandberg Portable video for that reason. BTW, how do you like the Tandberg equipment so far? I'm interested to hear what else you find out and end up doing.

My district is looking at Tandberg's setup. What has your experience been like since it was installed? Our main question relates to accessing content - what do you find is out there? Have you been able to find other resources with similar setups without significant research time?

Thanks in advance,
