EPISD VC: Adobe Connect & Skype
http://episdvc.blogspot.com/2008/05/adobe-connect-skype.html
Welcome to the EPISD Videoconferencing Blog .reaching beyond the classroom. Friday, May 23, 2008. Adobe Connect and Skype. Posted by West Texas VC. I think part of the situation is that the Connect video of the host is not meant to be used full screen. A better example would be if the presenter were to play a movie and then compare the two movie resolutions. May 23, 2008 at 1:41 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). EPISD VC in house Projects.

EPISD VC: Spring Boarding One of Two
http://episdvc.blogspot.com/2007/11/spring-boarding-one-of-two.html
Welcome to the EPISD Videoconferencing Blog .reaching beyond the classroom. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Spring Boarding One of Two. After a successful Monster Mash Connection - the Building Coordinator in Dallas said - we've been studying bats and spiders do you have any classes that would like to connect and discuss. I think the classes will continue to connect. One vc best practice was the teachers emailed their partner teacher the questions they wanted the other class to ask - it worked very well.

http://episdvc.blogspot.com/2008/04/which-field-trip-looks-better.html
Welcome to the EPISD Videoconferencing Blog .reaching beyond the classroom. Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Which Field Trip Looks Better? Today Crockett Elem. had the pleasure of experiencing their first virtual field trip with Greenbush IDL in Kansas. They learned about the rain forest and animals in the rain forest. I continue to stress to district officials that the BNI carts are inadequate. These pictures demonstrate some of the differences in quality between our BNI units and Polycoms. See you in June!
