Last Sunday evening Mike Darling shared his wonderful antarctic experiences with us in the Veretekk web conference room. It was really like we were setting there and experiencing being part of the trip ourselves as the many pictures flashed across the web conference room browser. At the time I never thought about the educational value, I was just enjoying the pictures.
This morning I go check out the web conference room forum and Alan King one of the master distributors and elementary school teacher was commenting on the Mike sharing his antartic experiences too. Then I remembered a press release I just sent out last week announcing Will Stegar's 1,200-mile, four-month-long dogsled trek across the Canadian Arctic’s Baffin Island.
On Saturday night in the Veretekk web conference room we learned how to stream television shows online. Gosh the light bulbs started going off in my head. National Geographic is covering the Will Stegar expedition, why not put all of this together and use web conference rooms to educated our future generations of explorers. By using web conference rooms you could unite 2 classrooms across the building or across the world it really doesn't matter the location.
