CONFERENCING TIPS

1. Have a list of numbers handy for troubleshootin . Numbers needed are school

tech coordinator, system tech coordinator, T2 Technical Support (for help with

Polycom problems) 877-847-7000 x2292, Interwrite Learnin Support 800-856-

0732, and your ACCESS Support Center.

2. When sendin a class, it is helpful to have IP addresses of the sites to be called

pre-pro rammed into the Directory.

3. Set your camera presets before the call so that they can be quickly accessed

durin the call.

4. Have all needed materials ready for use and all peripherals (computer, document

camera, and/or VCR/DVD) to be used on and ready. If possible, test the

equipment with your content beforehand.

5. Avoid wearin bri ht colors, all li ht or all dark clothin or very busy patterns.

Li ht pastels and muted colors look the best on the screen. Also avoid wearin

noisy jewelry.

6. Close any drapes or blinds in the room as dayli ht is a variable li ht source and

can conflict with interior room li htin .

7. Talk to both sides about noise durin the call. The microphones are sensitive and

can pick up side conversations or whispers easily. All noises are amplified and

paper crumblin can sound like a volcano!

8. Speak normally as the microphones will pick up your voice. If you are a fast

talker, you may need to speak slower and clearer.

9. Since each side’s volume acts independently, ask the students at the far site if

they can hear you. Have them introduce themselves so that you can be sure you

can hear them.

10.If in a multipoint call, it is sometimes helpful to have the receivin sites (far sites)

mute their microphones while teachin or ivin notes.
