Polycom Educational Resources

Here is a quick link to their education blog called ‘Out on a Lim’ that shows upcoming online classes and how schools around the world are using Polycom video for distance learning programs. There are currently blogs from schools within the IU 19 area.  Just scroll down a bit, you’ll find them on the right side of page.

You can also access the Kid2Kid Videoconference Connections.  On that website, they offer fee based online classes and you can gain some ideas by just looking around.  “Immerse yourself in videoconference connections with partner classes.  Learn about structures/templates for projects with other classes and implement them with your students and a partner classroom.” –From the Kid2Kid website.

And under Customer Success Stories, you will find many examples of how other K-12 schools are using video everyday.
