The students were engaged throughout the videoconference. They were excited to be able to show their house off and just as excited to interact with the students at New Buffalo. I do have to make one correction. The students at Westland are all members of the Construction Trades Class at William D. Ford Career Technical Center in Westland.

We can use this info to help plan better audio systems for upcoming events. I looked at some of the footage, and it does indeed seem that the students were patient and engaged. If you have suggestions to improve the content side - to increase the learning that occurs - that will help our future events, as well. Thanks to everyone for your help.

The differences in the type of houses and the programs was very interesting for our students. I liked the on-site connection but it was, at times, distracting to the presentation. I did like how patience each group was with the technology side of the VC. This is a great group to connect with as it does deal with real world applications.
