SMARTBoard by Video Conference

I recently presented a version of my presentation "Your First Hour With A SMARTBoard" via video conference. It is a much different experience, the spontaneity and the "hey what about.... " questions don't come the same way they do in a face to face presentation.

While I have been a video conference facilitator in the past this was the first time I actually taught with the medium. In retrospect the lesson should have been changed in structure to accommodate the medium better. We also ran a Brigit session to broadcast the screen to the remote locations as well. This caused a bit of a delay, possibly because of the bandwidth needed for the video conference.
