Career Videoconferences

Today I'm sending via email to my schools a list of career videoconferences. The Berrien County ISD Career Technical Education program is paying for a few videoconferences for Berrien County middle school and high school students this year. I've selected these programs for their ability to be scheduled during the teachers' class period and because I'm mostly familiar with the quality of the programming. Next year I'll probably share these types of lists via blog instead of email. We'll see what my districts prefer.

COSI Columbus' Electronic Experts $110 with TWICE discount. (Can't be scheduled anytime, but still usually very good quality expert interviews.)

These can all be scheduled within a teacher's class period as long as the provider has that spot open in their schedule.
