Live DJLN/ELI Talk Webcast Today - Hillel Style....

What was your last webcast experience like?  I know mine.... Slides on the screen, voice over the slides, no video of presenter - pretty lifeless.

Well, today at 1PM PDT, Rabbi Sufrin from the Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy will be conducting a Google Hangout webcast for the DJLN/Eli Talks group. (The talk is on Blended Learning see description here)  .....  and the cool part is that we have set up a small TV studio in Rabbi's Office (that could be set up in any school for next-to-no-cost!!) to try to banish the "blah" type of webcast!!

The TV studio consists of an older PC, a Webcam and a great little program called "ManyCam."  (http://www.manycam.com)   

ManyCam is heart of the system and works on both PC's and Macs.  It lets you create a TV studio inside your school for almost no cost.  It is amazing!  This program allows us to present slides, picture in picture, full video, green screen effects and (hopefully) make an engaging webcast!

So, check out the live stream (link below to register) and then checkout the software!

UPDATE... since the live stream is over... here is a link to the video:
