Teleconferencing

My engineering class borrowed a teleconference set up from the district this week to have a couple of conferences. One was with Medtronics and the other with 3M. It was really cool to be able to interact with the speakers and listen to what questions other schools asked. I can see that an application like this would really be nice for getting current information to a large group of students in different locations. The only trouble we had was with band width, got a little slow and pixilated at times. My students really liked it so I think we'll try it again sometime.
