Check out what kids in Mrs.
Keefer’s class from Raleigh, North Carolina (and

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.)
