Tandberg

The unit is at West Side and at the high school, but we need to work around the college classes.

Cisco owns this now.

The microphone is the attached 270 degree sweep, The students need to be on the bottom and sides of the micropohone. It plugs in the middle. We have two t-1 lines from West. Aggregated together-QSO enabled-check on this. Dedicate video for bandwidth. Our state does not have dedicated pipes for video.
 * OPERATIONS**

Remember to turn on the microphone is you mute it.

We have two Tandberg units.

You will need Tandberg--it connects automatically you need to click the Yellow button for sound.

NEXT MEETING DATE Thursday, March 31 at 12:00-3:00 at West Side

You can filter for free programs. You can ask for more for the money. For instance, have an audience. Ask for discounts for getting a couple of virtual field trips. Don't be afraid to ask for discounts.

From the Heart of a HAll of Famer.

The Provider broadcasts over: Look for IP. Make sure there is an IP and the standards are covered.


 * Three Important Things:**

//**Ask content provider:**// 1. Before the virtual field trip, what materials do you have for me to introduce the content and help the kids formulate questions? Know the vocabulary ahead of time. Give students background information before the live call. 2. During the field trip, what are my kids going to be doing? Students won't sit for an hour video. They have to have something to do. Some of the Virutal field trips, will send materials to use during the field trip.

3. How are you going to determine if the standard has been met through the virual field trip?


 * What timeline do the providers need?** Typically, it is thirty days.

The field trips are around 45-60 minutes.

Ask about time zones. Some only do field trips on certain days.

[]

Sample video clips If it says video, there is a sample video of the field trip. You can do a speciality search just for programs.

These are called collaborations, It is a tab in the category heading. View all collaborations-there are 181 requests right now for teachers wanting to collaborate.
 * How do you talk with someone overseas?**

If you know someone that you want to speak with, there are open source tools. **X Meeting** is one. It is a standards based client. It is open source, but it will load on a lap top. This allows classes to join from where they are. This can be used for bad weather.

Students can be empowered to do these field trips. There is an international competition-KC3-It is a link below the heading. There are developing grades 3-5 in this category now.

Develop your own field trip.

BRING LAP TOPS next time.

Illuminate LIve-is it like an exmeeing? Illuminte is like Skype as far as getting a tool onl laptop and you use lap top web cam to join these calls. The video is slow.

Virtual Meeting room-Collaborate with colleagues throughout the state.

Grants-Codec- 100% E-rate eligible. Rural Utility Services Grant (RUS) It can be used more than once. The school in Oklahoma has used it 6 times.

Grant Services team Cisco/Tandberg can help with this.

What is the point to point cost? One site to one site is a point to point There can be multi-site calls as well. The "by request cost" is trying to match special schedule.

Connect with an author

To connect, find request--email the teacher-figure out the time zone--use videogrear- 137.88.129.154 is our dialing info.

The last training we will teach. The next training is the CILC trainer.

We all need a Moodle account. It is our school district account. We will be on the Moodle Server. [|www.moodle.org]
