DESCRIPTION:
Planning projects or future events with those in distant
locations has been successfully done using videoconferences. It is a synchronous
tool which allows people at two or more locations to see and hear each other at
the same time. Keeping the same in mind, a Video Conferencing session by Zoom
Technology was conducted on the topic “Food for Thought Prices and the famous
Local, National & International Restaurants” of Class VIII under the
guidance of Mr. Cunningham (Director of World Class Schools, USA). Countries
participated were India, Taiwan, Armenia,
Ukraine, Brazil, USA & Peru
These technologies such as
videoconferencing bring new ways for teachers to work with students and
encourage the development of strategies more consistent with the emerging technology.
Although the use of videoconferencing is fairly new to the classroom, it is an
interactive communication medium which let students and teachers have a visual
connection to those they are working with the other side of the globe. Within
the forthcoming years, it will be in the hands of even more educators as the
Internet is becoming more available in the school setting.
“Food for Thought” is one of the ongoing Video Conferencing Project which was pre scheduled for Food
for Thought Prices and the famous Local, National & International
Restaurants” (12:00 GMT to 14:30 GMT). Students (Akul,
Dhruv, Shreya Agnihotri & Akshat of Class VIII A and Shreya & Liza of
Class VII C) had already prepared a presentation on “Food for Thought Prices
and the famous Local, National & International Restaurants” and the same was presented via screen sharing through Zoom Technology. The schedule of
presentation was sent by Mr. Cunningham a week before and a link https://esc13.zoom.us/j/242489432 for joining the meeting on Zoom. The countries had
been allocated the time slot for the presentation. (Annexure 1)
The session had
started at 12:00 GMT (5:30 pm in India). Seven countries and 7 schools had
joined the meeting and each country with their time slot was sharing the screen
with their presentation, the best part was that none other country could
interfere in between the ongoing presentation as it was controlled by host Mr.
Cunningham. One by one each country was presenting their Country’s Prices
and we were provided the time slot 12:00 GMT (5:30 pm).
Our students
had tried to cover the various dimensions starting with brief introduction of
school and its affiliation. They further continued with the elaborate discussion
on “Food for Thought Prices and the famous Local, National & International
Restaurants”. The menu of few restaurants were also explained (PPT &
Speech attached as Annexure 2)
Other
Countries had also shown excellent slides of their “Food for Thought Prices and
the famous Local, National & International Restaurants”. The whole session
was recorded by Mr. Cunningham which could be viewed by connecting the link
given below: http://youtu.be/BS7YFSAN9Ww. Mr.
Cunningham highly appreciated the efforts of students during the session.
Our next session is scheduled in the month of April 2015. The topic and
the day is yet to be decided.
It worked as
a wonderful experience for the students to have a qualitative discussion
without visiting their counterparts.
Overall, it enabled students to be
acquainted with some of the price list of the food items of other countries.
