Spring+Presenter+FAQ



Thank you for your support of this project by presenting at this years Video Conferencing Tour Series. Please feel free to contact either Ashton Graham or Linda McDonald regarding your presentation. We want your presentation to be a success.

Each 45 minute session is dedicated to a College or University. We want to give 5 mins at the beginning and at the end of each program to do roll call and to rap up each session. **We would like presenters to limit their presentation to 15 mins.** to allow the remaining time to be Q & A from the sites.
 * How long should my presentation be for this program?**

You don't :) As facilitators of this program we will be managing the conference for you. At the beginning of each hour we will run a roll call of sites and introduce you as a presenter. When your presentation is complete we will facilitate the Q & A portion calling on the sites for you. That way you as a presenter can focus on the questions & not worry about the sites.
 * How do I manage all of the schools and sites?**

This program is for students Kindergarten - 8th grade. The younger the students, the shorter the time span. A good presentation over video includes a lot of variety. Consider using props such as stuffed animals, college gear, pictures, etc. You can plan to share a presentation, but campuses with older videoconferencing tools may not be able to see a presentation other than your main camera. Please avoid long periods of time on a PowerPoint Side or just a 20 min "talking head".
 * What can I do make my program a success?**

No, We will give your technical department a dial in number for the conference. We ask that you connect to the conference 30mins prior to the start of the program just in case we have any problems. If you change rooms or endpoints we need to know if your IP number changes for you to connect to the bridge.
 * Do I need to stay connected all day?**

avoid repetative movements such as sitting in a swivel chair or standing and rocking. These behaviors are magnified over video and will take away from your presentation Think about the lighting in the room. Your audience really wants to see you. The camera will have difficulty finding you if you stand in front of a window or have a bright wall behind you. Be flexible. We plan and test, but technology changes
