YHGfL making VC easier for schools

Yorkshire and Humber Grid for Learning are helping schools home and abroad to link up using video conferencing.  All you need is a Broadband connection (most schools), a web/video camera and a projector (almost every school) or a screen so that everyone watching can see and hear their connections.  Just be aware that video is the first thing to suffer if your projector lamp is fading.

VC can be used as part of the curriculum and allows you to bring history to life in the classroom by linking to museums and re-enacting scenes from the past.

YHGfL has access to a database of regional and national providers of VC resources, many free or at low cost.  It’s a great place to find VC sessions for your school.

VC is really easy to set up and YHGfL has loads of help and ideas that can be accessed here.
