Today I needed to have a meeting with Barbara Swanson from NYSAIS and she suggested Oovoo. NYSAIS has been using Oovoo a lot for video conference calls, and we used one at our Information Technology Committee last week, with pretty good success. We went for it today and the call quality was fantastic. The audio was great and the video was shockingly good, especially with Barbara and I both being on wireless networks while chatting. Their service seems to be improving with time, although the ads they show at the bottom of calls are quite obtrusive.
In more exciting news, the program for this year's Teaching with Technology Conference (March 6, 2010) is just about complete. We are sending conference presenters a Google Document for them to update their workshop descriptions. We will then post them live on the NYSAIS.org website and the conference wiki. Look for details to come soon at http://neit.wikispaces.com/TWT2010
I hope many of you all, and your teachers, can join. Let me know if you have any questions.
