7. Many educators are not aware of how
videoconferencing works
Some districts do not have to the resources to
provide educators with training on how to use
videoconferencing.
Districts already use their limited resources
on basic technology such as computers
8. A teacher’s viewpoint:
◦ “After leaving the classroom for years and returning
I feel overwhelmed by the amount of new
technology, and although I feel that
videoconferencing would be beneficial to my
students I do not feel that I have the knowledge to
incorporate it into my classroom.”
- Ernestina Adornato, Bermudian Springs High School

10. Videoconferencing can be difficult to
incorporate into district’s budgets due to the
cost of equipment and training
Most schools have a difficult time staying
within their budget for necessary items such
as books
11. Based on both the negative and positive
aspects of videoconferencing we have
concluded that the positive outweighs the
negative and videoconferencing does indeed
have a positive effect on education.
14. Helps the student keep up with their work
Students still feel like they are part of their
class because they can see their classroom
and everything going on
It helps them maintain their normal lifestyle
while being treated
