Distance Learning Provides Opportunities

YouTube and TeacherTube provide more than just amusing videos to pass the time. They've got some really interesting videos for teachers that can assist them in their teaching methods and can even be played in class. This video is from Texas where they are using video conferencing. Here in Iowa of course we have the ICN and that can connect students from various schools in Iowa. Beyond that, students can take courses for college credit or take courses that maybe aren't offered at their schools. Video conferencing is a really powerful tool that I don't think gets enough attention anymore. Some teachers put a limit on its possibilities and don't think about some of the exciting things that this technology can be useful for.
