Many schools are increasingly using video conferencing to allow experts and well-known personalities to talk and interact with students.
Video conferencing is the means of using computers to provide a video-link between two or more people. Instead of just talking to someone by telephone, people are able to see each other as well. Video conferencing also allows graphics to be uploaded, along with maps and videos. Multipoint videoconferencing allows three or more participants to sit in a virtual conference room and communicate as if they were sitting right next to each other. It is a growing medium in both business and in the education sector.
