Digital Outreach: A Small Business Perspective on Video Conference Outreach Opportunities

Fizzics Education has been heavily involved with video conferencing to NSW Public schools, having run video conference workshops to over 200 schools within Australia and beyond since 2010. Now with the introduction of the NBN there are opportunities for even small operators to access an ever-growing market. Throughout this session we critically look at:

• creating engaging workshops that actively involve learners
• utilising video conferences as an extension to a traditional school incursion
• aligning content to state and international curricula
• how to commence educational video conferencing successfully
• going to market domestically and internationally
• the value of partnerships across all institutions; even between competitors
• video conferencing into the future; is it just about schools?

During the session we will run a brief video conference science lesson with a NSW school.
