Journals - Cape Henlopen VC Workshop, May 18, 2011 - Contemporary Issues Through Videoconferencing

CITVC participated in a professional development conference hosted by MAGPI, http://www.magpi.net. The event was moderated by Heather Weisse Walsh, Manager of Educational Services at MAGPI. CITVC students and Ms. Kathleen Menake, CITVC teacher, presented to Delaware educators about the Around the World project at Passaic Valley High School. The educators viewed a brief clip of a videoconference held between Passaic Valley Regional High School and Nile University, Egypt just days earlier during the 9th annual Around the World event. This spurred a rich dialogue between the presenters and attendees. Several Delaware schools are going to make videoconferencing a mandatory element of some curricula.
