4. #2 - Have an expert visit your classroom. I teach band and choir and it is challenging and expensive to find specialists to visit the classroom. However, with video conferencing I am able to give that bassoon player a lesson. I can also have leading conductors listen in to rehearsals and offer tips directly to the students.

7. #5 - Use Video Conferencing to support transition work between primary and secondary schools. Setup a conference allowing the present year 6s to chat with last year's year 6s. An excellent way of putting worried minds at ease! Chris Thomas @cthomas18 www.iprimary.co.uk (See a video tutorial on FlashMeeting at this site)
