With your work in Technology Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

- Hi Frieda,
I'm a middle school media specialist at Crowders Creek Middle in Clover, SC. Do you have a Skype account? Would you be willing to do a video conference during our career day? I'm trying to find some local people to call in and talk to the groups.
