Factors to Consider when Preparing for a PD Experience using Videoconferencing
There are many factors to consider when preparing for a professional learning experience using VC:
 * The type of PD experience will it be. Will it be a presentation/guest speaker? A workshop? A professional learning community? The type of experience you want to create will affect the room setup, the logistics around how participants interact with one another, the supportive technologies which may be required to share content, the materials required at each site, and whether a facilitator needs to be delegated at each site.
 * The sites taking part. Will the lead presentation/facilitation site have participants? How many additional sites will be participating and how many at each site?
 * Who is in charge of the PD experience. Does the PD organizer/presenter/facilitator have experience with videoconferencing? Does the PD organizer/presenter/facilitator have access to technical support/setup which may be required?
