LOOKING FOR VIDEO CONFERENCING AND SKYPING CLASSROOM PARTNERS

Hi everyone! My name is Tim Pugh and I am a Coordinating Teacher for the Grand Erie DSB's Communication Literacy Project called Virtual GrandE in South Western Ontario, Canada.

I have been hosting NINGS within our board system and just stumbled across Classroom 2.0...it is awesome!

We typically use video conferencing units and portable VC software, as well as SKYPE and some ADOBE CONNECT for learning events. In the past, we have run point-to-point and multi-point synchronous virtual learning events for between 10 and 1200 students at a time, depending on the topic....to much success!

Anyone who is interested in exploring some potential learning connections, please feel free to drop me a line.

Cheers!
Tim

Tim,

I am interested in this, but unsure how to go about this and produce benefit for my students. I teach science at an all girls school and I wanted to connect them beyond the walls of our institution through science. So I would say I am interested in the potential connections.

I would be looking to connect with 7th and 8th grade English classes/teachers/students. Thanks.

Have you found the solution for connecting? Want to recommend RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance. Compared with skype and Adobe connect, it is more versatile with 6 collaboration features and there is no recurring monthly fee.
