 * Can you download the program? ** I'm pretty sure you don't need to. With Adobe Connect software, joining a webinar is as simple as clicking a URL. Adobe Connect is based on Adobe Flash® technology and Adobe Flash Player software is already installed on virtually all Internetconnected computers.

**Online activity:** Explore one of the video chat systems by tring to connect with another student in class. Place your reactions (100 words on your wiki page). I use Skye occasionally to contact my children and family members when I am travelling for presentation. I remember the first time using Skype. This happened several years ago when I made contact with a teacher in Toronto, Canada. We were trying to establish SMART board professional development for teachers in Canada (in the end it didn't go ahead due to politics!). It can be rather confronting at first. The lag too and assist in the uncertainty of the situation (ie cutting each other off). I don't use it my teaching as our school has strict regulations and guidelines in terms of contacting students viw the web (ie only permitted to use our school email, not permitted to be friends with any exisiting or past students etc).

I have also used Adobe Connect to present a global webinar on the SMART board revolution. I found this bizzare as I could only view my screen without seeing others or any comments. [] I also use Adobe connect with Wing last year.
