Adobe Connect Resources:
The SRESD has been administrating the Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro web conferencing system for a state-wide project which was initiated and funded by the REMC (remc.org) association. The system is a 'hosted' solution, and is being used to meet a wide variety of needs.
- Delivering Professional Development virtually for educators working on meeting the National Technology Standards for teachers http://21things.weebly.com . The virtual sessions are recorded and posted online for anytime access.
- To save time cut costs by holding meetings virtually instead of driving to a location to meet.
- To provide technical support for our services, such as Blackboard, data projects, media center support
- To provide open help support times online where users can log in and get help
- To create tutorials for end users by recording the computer screen and narration
- To create training materials to use in Blackboard, or to post on the web
