Global SchoolHouse can help you find videoconferencing partners, by searching world-wide for other schools that use this communication tool. http://www.gsn.org/cu/.

What is videoconferencing?
A videoconference is much like a meeting conducted over the Internet in which students from around the globe can see and hear each other.

What does it take to have a videoconference? Global SchoolHouse presents the elements of an effective Internet conference at http://www.gsn.org/cu/videoconf.html.

Students can use live videoconferencing to:
  • interact with experts in remote locations
  • share research results
  • practice speaking different languages
  • interview authors, politicians or world leaders
  • collaborate and communicate while learning about other cultures
  • practice communication and presentation skills
  • improve research skills (interviewing, etc.)
