Video Conferencing (IVC)

This is an interesting option for computer users. I live out in the country, therefore, I bought a laptop video camera and headphones, so I would not have to travel to campus to complete the assignment. Installing the camera and microphone was easy. Accessing the video software Eyejot was easy to read and following the simple instructions. However, I found that my microphone had a short and was not working as well as exspected. Inspite of this, I enjoyed the assignment and se
nt a copy to my sisters, who enjoyed it tremendously.

As an assignment for my students, I may try an inclass project with student creating a video for me based on a general question about their favorite subject and why. This experiment will not require to much time or reseach. However, cellular phones with audio/video options on most phones already have students familiar with this technology.
