Your Web 2.0 Review Series #7: Online Meeting Software and Services
This is the seventh in a series of forum posts asking for feedback on the software and services around the different categories of Classroom 2.0 programs. This time it's online meetings: Elluminate, Flashmeeting, Skype/Skypecasts, Google Talk, etc. I'm particularly interested in desktop sharing, video capability, and threaded discussions.
Which are your favorites and why?
What features are important to you?
(If you're feeling verbose) What are the pros and cons of the programs you've tried?
Hopefully, these discussions will provide an unparalleled reference for new users making choices about what tools to use.

Hello .I lke Skype .It more helpfull in a class because you have the environment in control. For individual clase is very good. I have given some clases to my ex students about color.or any of the principal or element in art that they have forgot. And I use the messenger with a difficult .In this case you dont have the same control as in Skype.
Have a nice day

I am definitley a jump before you look kind of gal. I have just started with some Web 2.0 tools this year. I tried using Skype in my classroom. we had an author in. I could have made it more engaging but it was still cool. I am facinated with Eluminate and the programing tat is made available through Classroom 2.0 I think it would be great if programing could be offered to classrooms on the same scale. Are there any sites that have regular speakers that a classroom could take part in. I have not yet tried eluminate other than the programing through Classroom2.0The cost seems a little prohibitive for small districts. I would love to hear how people are using it it.

I would love a list of people who will come in virtually to classrooms as well. Who was your author and how did you get onto them. I use elluminate in my classroon. As I liv ein Australia, we had various Melbourne Symphony Orchestra musicians come in virtually and teach my students about their insturments and the physics of their instruments over a 10 week program. That was part of a massive grant and sponsorship.
I am now starting to use elluminate in my classroom with my year 11 and 12 accounting students as I find is so very engaging for them. The will use the chat to interact and say when they do not undertand etc.
So, I started using it with year 8s as well at the end of last term and will work it much harder this term in IT.
