Let\u2019s first understand what videoconferencing is. Videoconferencing allows students to collaborate with peers in different locations via live video sessions. They can be held multiple times a week at multiple schools at a minimal cost.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a programme requires minimal technology intervention, and many schools nowadays, have the basic infrastructure to arrange for a video set-up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listed below are the three best practices to conduct a video-conferencing session in classrooms.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Define technical requirements: <\/strong>Any teacher can conduct a videoconferencing session with the help of an Internet connection, a webcam and a projector. If a guest speaker is not comfortable using video tools, they can record their speech in an audio-only format and share it across.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Embrace the flipped classroom: <\/strong>Once a speaker is scheduled to deliver a lecture on a topic, the teacher can share short videos related to it with students in advance. This will provide a brief idea to students about the topic to be discussed and prepare them for a robust conversation.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Hire a full-time professional: <\/strong>Schools can hire a full-time professional to plan video conferencing sessions and manage a website on which teachers can put in requests for a schedule.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If teachers integrate video conferencing into the curriculum, students will get a chance to hear speakers speak on topics, ranging from history to current affairs, and even complex subjects, such as Mathematics and Computer Science.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Article source <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/edtechmagazine.com\/k12\/article\/2019\/09\/want-start-videoconferencing-program-heres-how\">https:\/\/edtechmagazine.com\/k12\/article\/2019\/09\/want-start-videoconferencing-program-heres-how<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image source<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesize.com\/en\/solutions\/industry\/education\">https:\/\/www.lifesize.com\/en\/solutions\/industry\/education<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many schools have realised the importance of videoconferencing to facilitate learning in the classrooms.
