Seeing is Believing
Videoconferencing brings the potential to enrich distance programs and bring new opportunities to the classroom. As videoconferencing becomes more widely available in schools and in public locations, such as libraries, it is important that there is a new awareness this technology’s vast potential. This will ensure that it is fully exploited for the benefit of learning communities.
Videoconferencing allows for a powerful combination of highly interactive material with two-way, asynchronous communication between teachers and students and guests. This brings about new ways for teachers to work with students, and students to work with peers and experts; it encourages the development of strategies that are more consistent with the uses of technology in the world today. Educators are finding creative ways to use this medium in the classroom. With the visual connection brought by videoconferencing, you are able to work with people wherever they are – be it down the hall, in another province or around the globe.
One way that this technology is commonly used is for project work or research collaborations among classes. By allowing people in different locations to share a visual connection, groups from around the world can now work together. This rich communication allows for the formation of relationships between students. Participants can meet to work on a common project; teachers can meet to plan a lesson or to touch base on progress towards a goal.
Videoconferencing can be used to show current events as they happen. Classrooms can share in celebrations in other countries or scientists share their latest discovery. Experts can visit a classroom without ever having to leave their office! This technology gives students access to people they may not have been able to interact with - distance is no longer a factor.
Museums, zoos, libraries, and healthcare facilities offer virtual tours and field trips for students. When distance, cost or time factors are deterrents to taking a field trip to a location which would enhance their study, these services are a great alternative to being there!
