FlashMeeting

FlashMeeting is an easy free to use online meeting application, it allows a dispersed group of people to meet from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Typically a meeting is pre-booked by a registered user and a url, containing a unique password for the meeting, is returned by the FlashMeeting server. The 'booker' passes this on to the people they wish to participate, who simply click on the link to enter into the meeting at the arranged time.

Many schools have used this tool to have online meetings and they are satisfied of it. If you wish to learn how you can use it, please click here...

Wiziq

Wiziq is an educational platform where users discover, transact and consume educational services. Students can find there online courses, tests, content via live virtual classrooms as well as locate education service providers (ESPs) offering their services online and offline.

Education support providers have many advantages by using Wiziq as it offers:
• Profiles where they can put all the educational details
• Live online classes. They can schedule their own live class in wiziq’s virtual classrooms that is equipped with two-way audio video interaction, text chat and whiteboard capabilities. The ESP can invite one or as many as 50 students in one classroom to teach – this it’s main viral component so far.
• Peer-to-peer connections
• Tests and Assessments – Pending, ESPs will be able to create and send tests to their students, embed tests in their blogs and websites, generating added viral effects.
On Friday afternoon, you will all have the opportunity to try out Wiziq as we organize an online live class there presented by the ICT expert from Sydney, Australia, Maria Tentzeraki. Stay tuned for the details!!!
