Week 3 Post 2

The Internet has allowed me to improve communications. Mostly with my family in other states and in other countries. We are now able to use Skype, Facebook chat and Facebook video chat. We like the video chat options in order to see face to face with family. The video just seems more personal by being able to see eachother face to face. I would say I like it even more than just picking up the phone. We also use video conference at work. We have 12 locations in different states. It is a great cost saver. Our headquarters is based in New York. Using the video conference has saved us thousands of dollars in airfare. In the past, staff from all locations would need to travel to New York. Now its just a click of a switch and we are all in the same room. My daughter even uses video conference in one of her classes at school. One of there homework assignments is to video in from home to a vitural classroom. Its an exercise that engages parents and students to be involved. I did get volunteered to help assist with this project thank to my lovely 12 year old daughter. LOL


Here is a video of the weather that hit us last night.
