Our first international video conference
Well, that may be stretching things a little but this is a good esercise for us to see what we are capable of! We had a request from Ann, one of the leaders of our local Rainbows, to see if they could use our WIFI for all the gairls to talk to her daughter who is in Boston, USA.
I’ve set up the speakers and the big screen with the data projector so all the girls can see what is going on while they take it in turns to ask a few questions.
While this may be a bit flippant calling it international conference calling it does show how flexible we can be. With skype you can hold a conference call of up to nine people and if they all have web cams then they can all see and speak to each other. The only cost is the wifi usage and we are giving this to the Rainbows (along with a drink!).
