//21st century classrooms are being transformed from disconnected spaces where learning happens in isolation, to global communication nodes where ideas and experiences are shared across boundaries of space and cultural divides. This workshop will explore the potential of video streaming software to enhance the learning experience for students of all ages. //

//Participants will learn how to record a science experiment, a discussion in history class, an artistic endeavor, a concert, or a student presentation. These can then be streamed live or recorded, and viewed by students who are unable to attend class. Teachers may also offer instruction when traveling or from home during an extended absence. Through the judicious use of Internet resources and applications, students and their teachers will be encouraged to embrace new opportunities to become independent learners and productive project partners. Collaborations can take place between remote locations as students from different schools recognize their common aspirations. Visualizations can be made that allow artistic expression within the medium. Students who initiate the use of these digital tools can create personalized lessons and projects that promote assimilation and in depth awareness of the topics of study. //

Instructions for attendees: If possible, bring laptops or iPads; observers are welcome too.
