Flash based, so easy to use from within your browser. Just hope it is quick and stable enough... Cheers, Koos Hi Carol,

I am the sole teacher at both campuses. I am teaching across 2 campuses this year and am loving it! Students are enjoying this style of learning and it is having a positive impact upon achievement of outcomes. We have also made a class PB wiki page to enhance the experience of cross-campus learning. We upload all our resources, official stuff and important links. Students communicate this way with me between classes. I would love to think more and more people will take on this option of teaching languages as it makes sense, and is lots of fun. It is agreat way to ensure lanugage learning stays alive. I teach Stage 6 Beginners Japanese via video conferencing and smartboard links (using Bridgit). I am the sole teacher at both campuses.

We began the program to meet a need from our schools for quality interactive programs for PreK-1st grade students (ages 3-6). He asks the students questions and then has them sing with him. The students have to mute their microphones during the singing due to the echo/delay in the audio. Shane will be one of the IVC Showcase sessions at NECC 2008 in San Antonio on Monday, June 30 from 12:30-1:00 PM. To see another example, visit www.edlink12.net/sws and click Example. Enjoy!
