I've been handed a question from Tottori Prefecture
in Japan which is exploring a "sister state" relationship
with Vermont about "connecting schools"
2. Satellite TV exchange
Would it be possible for a school in Vermont
and a school in`Tottori to set up a satellite TV
exchange program? We would like to know how many
schools (divide into elementary, junior high and
middle schools, high schools) have the necessary
equipment, and if any of the schools have engaged in
international exchanges with schools in foreign
countries before using satellite TVs
Besides the Satellite TV option, what other options
do Vermont schools have access to ?
- how many have DSL or faster connections
- how many could support iChat-like sessions
in a classroom setting ?
- anyone experimenting with PC/Internet based
video conferencing in a classroom setting ?
- anyone want to ?
