Advantages of Video Conferencing for Education
The culture of our educational
system is ready to utilize recorded video of historical events as well as live
streaming on a larger scale.
1. VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS
For times when budget issues
or lack of time make actual travel impractical, video conferencing can fill the
bill.
2. VISITS FROM
EXPERTS
Inviting experts to visit
classrooms via video allows for an interactive experience for students with
people skilled in the field being discussed.
3. LEAVE NO STUDENT
OUT
Students who live in rural
areas may miss out on many opportunities due to the distance they must commute
and connecting rural students via video conferencing gives some students the
opportunity to be involved in lessons from their homes and can improve learning
by letting students virtually attend field trips that may not have been
accessible to them.
4. ALLOW STUDENTS TO
TRAVEL THE WORLD
Students are curious about the
world around them and people in other countries and connecting with other
classrooms in countries all over the world allows students to understand and
work with geographically distant cultures
5. SAVE LESSONS AND
MEETINGS
When a student misses a class
due to absence or wants to review the content again, video conferencing
recording and archiving tools can be used for playback in order to teach or
reinforce a lesson. This works great for the teaching staff as well; staff
meetings can be held via video conferencing in order to save time and travel
expense and can be recorded for those unable to participate in the live
meeting.
6. PARENT/TEACHER
CONFERENCES
Holding conferences over video
conferencing can minimize scheduling conflicts for both parents and teachers.
Some video conferencing systems offer tools like guest invites in order to
engage parents in parent/teacher conferences.
