Time Required:
 

Approximately 3 days of pre-conference planning

Pre Lessons Activities - Approximately six 45-minute class sessions

The video conference will be 45 minutes to one hour

Post Lessons and Activities - Approximately four 45-minutes class sessions.

Assessment - approximately one 45-minute class session.

Logistical Planning:
We are hoping to use risers so that the content provider will better see the students.  Students with visual impairments will be placed first to accommodate their needs.  We will also be using a projector in the library for easier viewing.

We will work with the students on projecting their voices and looking at the camera.

Technique and Observations:
Students will be involved in extensive discussion of material.  They will also be creating art works based on their learnings.  Although they will be required to discuss their work, no writing will be involved.
