Video conference connects fourth-graders - David Frownfelder, Daily Telegram

Separated by almost 200 miles, two fourth-grade classrooms made a video connection Friday and learned about each others schools and hometowns. Betty Jo Winters' Addison Upper Elementary class met Pat Franz' Kincheloe Elementary class from Dowagiac via a video conference in the computer lab at the Porter Education Center in Raisin Township. "Teachers are having to take a risk because this is new for them," said Greg Marten, Lenawee Intermediate School District's coordinator of distance learning. "Businesses have been using video conferencing for a long time and now education is starting to use it more."
