Teleconferencing - The Bordlerless Classroom

Teleconferencing has become so simple and so permeating in everyday society that it does not demand a great level of skill to operate. On the contrary, you can be a junior high school student or even medical student or beyond, and it would work just as well for you.

In fact, students from all over the land and around the globe are hosting their own video teleconferencing academic session* as we speak, whether it's for a school related task or if it is to discuss a business project, etc. These teleconferencing sessions and especially the telecommunications technology itself has been an enabler of interaction of the global community on an unheard of scale.

For instance, there's a organization called See You See Me, which helps individuals acquire greater perceptivenesses into what makes another person click. Traditionally if you wanted to work with someone remotely, you would rely mostly on textual communications normalized with some phone interactions.

However more often than not, especially in these kinds of mediums, mistakes and all out flame wars in the worst case scenarios have erupted all over the internet. It's very important to have a moderator in these cases to ameliorate and avoid irreparable damage to valuable relationships via these informal communication systems.

Schools are now reaching out beyond the schoolroom, and even beyond the school system where students can now "meet" other students from other territories as well as around the world in every single words and culture. It truly is a very dynamic experience that is sure to break down barriers and misconceptions people may have of one another due to lack of social interaction.

Can you imagine in the not-too-distant-future, lesson plans and activities done via a rich medium and public conference which allows students to learn from the best teachers as well as the most eager students who share their same pursuits? Welcome to the 21st century folks. For those who thought the internet revolution is over... You gotta be kidding me- We have not even gotten warmed up yet.
