Video Conferencing is not the only way we can provide synchronous online classes or collaborate with our colleagues online. Adobe Connect is a web conferencing tool that the SILC (Southland) cluster uses for all their online classes and that many of us are using to work with others online. You may have seen this used in SchoolZone or eAdmin training before.
The screen shot above shows us sharing desktops which can produce this never ending mirror effect ;-)
If you want to have a look at how this web based collaborative environment might work you can visit my Adobe 'sandpit' and see. If you want access to use this tool for your online learners contact Eddie

Big push for me next year with Adobe Connect. I am wanting to get the teachers to use it as one of the collaboration tools as opposed to just VC. The music teachers are keen to use it for moderation because they can play a video clip of a performance and share it with their fellow teachers in the meeting, then get their feedback as to the judgement given. It can be done from their own classrooms, with a mic. So much better than having to plan time in the VC room, connect your laptop to the camera, make sure you have the right screen resolution, and your laptop screen is transmitting to the TV.
