Vedio conferencing

What is video conferencing?

Video conferencing sounds so intellectual and professional kind of talk. When we hear the word conference, we often think about the term as it is used in the Church. By the way, General Conference is coming up in two weeks... Video conference is a term used to describe a group of people who are talking online using machines called computers to communicate with each other. You can sit in front of your computer in your hale, and I can talk to you from Samoa using my computer, and we can hear and see each at the same time. This is not the same as Skype and other ways which you can talk and see each other on the computer at the same time.
However Video Conferencing is different. The key word is conference, this involves more than one or two people talking on the computer using certain kinds of programs like dimdim to communicate with each other from their various homeplace. A lot of people especially big companies use this to hold meetings with their employees, and other fellow associates.

Dimdim
Dimdim is a open source meeting software that you can download from online and you can use it to hold video conferencing or meetings.

Post #2B: My thoughts about E-Learning 2.0

I enjoyed reading about E-learning as much as i did with the Technology of Teaching. I think they are very well connected with the fact that they both taught about the differences between trying to do the work on our own and doing it together as a team. Not only that, but also they both have an affect on similar ways to help improve our capability to learn, to plan, to develop, to build, and to implement an idea into something realistic. For example, the teacher and student model in the E-Learning 2.0 is quite similar or is somewhat relates to the ISD Model and all it stages.
