REVIEW
Videoconferences allow teachers and students to connect to people and places that may not otherwise be accessible to them such as zoos, museums, guest experts and other classrooms. This booklet that has been created by educators in the field includes an introduction that describes what videoconferences are and the different types. The booklet also provides project templates that can be used to start your classroom project by just plugging in your own curriculum information. Project ideas include exchange projects, academic challenges, data collections, debates, product/solution development and many more. Additionally, users will find tips for finding a partner, presentation, preparing questions, evaluation strategies, and a bibliography of resources.
