Video+Conference

==Video conferencing is a tool that is becoming more and more popular in classrooms today. It allows students from around the country and even around the world to connect with each other. Video conferencing is practical for students of all ages. For older students they could listen to a speaker and for younger students they can take part in crafts and activities. We took part in a video conference with students from all across Pennsylvania. There was a leader that was very enthusiastic and she took us through stories and crafts. The students also got a chance to answer questions and tell her their ideas. It was a really nice change of pace from traditional teaching. Our video conference was set up through Magpi which has a bunch of programs for all different ages. When you sign up for a program you also get all the materials and pre and post lesson ideas to go along with the actual conference. Below is a link to the Magpi homepage. ==
