Soft Egg Virtual Classroom Solutions
The future of teaching is changing. As ICT begins to become more embedded and integral to the school curriculum, there a one question that schools may ask.
“Can our investment in ICT still allow us to realise cost savings?”
The Answer simply is yes! Soft Egg has been working closely with the manufacturers to come up with products for schools that will enable them to realise cost savings as their investment in ICT increases.
Todays Schools
In videoconferencing technology, two or more people at different locations can see and hear each other at the same time, sometimes even sharing computer applications for collaboration. Videoconferencing offers possibilities for schools, colleges, and libraries to use these systems for a variety of purposes, including formal instruction (courses, lessons, and tutoring), connection with guest speakers and experts, multi-school project collaboration, professional activities, and community events.
Placing a video call is a lot like placing a telephone call. After you connect, you see the other person in colour on a TV screen. You are able to transfer files or collaborate via options such as document sharing or through an Interactive whiteboard.

Creating A Balance
We would like to help create a balance in schools. On the one hand children need to take field trips to broaden their horizons by experiencing them in person.
However, if there ever was a need to visit NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), in America, what happens then?
It would be expensive to fly there with 30 or so children.
What if a school needed a foreign language teacher but did not have the means to recruit one, what could be done? Video Conferencing would be a solution that could help with these types of situations. In cases where travel my not be the preferred option, we can connect schools together to make free “video” calls over the internet to far and distant places in order to enhance the teaching experience. Lessons could be delivered to more than one school by specialist teachers. These lessons could be recorded and reviewed again. If a number of schools shared this resource, more savings can be made overall.
Some students host live video conferencing sessions with primary school pupils to help them overcome their fears of starting secondary school.
