Video Conferencing on a Shoestring
I have been keen to explore video conferencing for some time now but have always seen it as something that is expensive. I know of a few schools that have rooms set up for video conferencing. These are sometimes high tech set ups that have cost thousands. I have always worried about value for money and felt we may not get enough use to make it worth the out lay. However at Hampshire's ICT conference last year I was lucky enough to hear Heather Hadfield from the SEGFL talk about video conferencing. She drew my attention to a much cheaper alter native called JVCS desktop. JVCS desktop allows users within schools to video conference using the JANET facilities with nothing more than a webcam and a microphone. To use JVCS desktop you need to download and install a free application called ConferenceMe. Heather also drew our attention to the many video conferencing opportunities free to schools. Several museums run sessions. For example the National Archives run a number of free sessions aimed ay KS1-KS3.
