Interactive videoconferencing (IVC) networks are increasingly available to educators and offer the potential to link classrooms worldwide, connect far-flung learners to subject area experts, and bring in much-needed supplemental content. However, as with many educational technologies, we've spent billions on hardware, networks, and installation, and precious little on preparing teachers to usefully integrate these fantastic tools into the curriculum. Videoconferencing for K-12 Classrooms fills this crucial need. Written by three educators with decades of combined experience implementing IVC, the book is filled with real-life stories and proven strategies.
