Mega Conference Jr
Megaconference Jr. is an annual project designed to
give students in elementary through secondary schools around the world
the opportunity to communicate, collaborate and learn in real time, using advanced multi-point video
conferencing technology. Video Jockey (VJ) teams and their interactive partners will
develop and share activities focused on both academic and cultural
issues. The teams will collaborate with geographically diverse peers on
authentic learning activities, thus building global cultural awareness. Participants viewing Megaconference Jr. events will be able to address
questions to the presenters through a special Megaconference Jr. social
networking site.
Megaconference Jr. addresses local and national curriculum standards
in multiple subject areas. It will also help students and teachers
develop the capacity to effectively utilize high-speed networks,
videoconferencing and other emerging technologies to enhance learning
experiences.
ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. You can find out more about registration on the Megaconference Jr. Website.
