The final day of the TNT conference runs half a day so that folks have an opportunity to drive home. Grand Forks is on the eastern edge of the state so many conference participants have a long way to go. <\/p>\n
I attended a session today sponsored by the (North Dakota Interactive Video Network<\/a>. K12 videoconferencing in North Dakota is a big deal primarily because small schools can share resources (i.e, mostly instructors) with other schools in a cost effective manner. We are talking H.323 (IP) applications.<\/p>\n The session had a broader purpose and spent a considerable amount of time promoting on-line resources not involving other ND schools. The basic idea is that ???providers??? are offering educational videoconferencing experiences ??? typically for a modest price (say $100 or so) and these experiences (often interactive) can be used to expand student educational opportunities.<\/p>\n Some Examples: You may have to explore to locate the resources provided – try locating “educational resources”.<\/p>\n www.seatrek.org<\/a> <\/p>\n Cleveland Institute of Music<\/a><\/p>\n Albany Institute of History and Art<\/a> – <\/p>\n National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum<\/a><\/p>\n National Aviary<\/a> <\/p>\n Ways to Locate Resources<\/p>\n
