=Welcome to Chichester's Video Conferencing Wiki=

**What is a videoconference?**
A **videoconference** (also known as a //videoteleconference//) is a set of interactive [|telecommunication] [|technologies] which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously. (Wikipedia)

What is Internet2?
Internet2 brings together institutions and resources from academia, industry and government to develop new technologies and capabilities that can then be deployed in the global Internet. Close collaboration with Internet2 corporate members will ensure that new applications and technologies are rapidly deployed throughout the Internet. Just as e-mail and the World Wide Web are legacies of earlier investments in academic and federal research networks, the legacy of Internet2 will be to expand the possibilities of the broader Internet.

**Steps to scheduling a video conference**
1. Check the video conferencing calendar to make sure that the date you want is available. 2. If the date is available please email Melanie at mscalpel@chichestersd.org and let her know what date you have selected. 3. Once the date is put on the calendar the IT Department will be notified. 4. Some of the programs that you deal with will ask for a test approximately two weeks before the program. Please forward those emails onto the IT Department so that the equipment checks will be performed. 5. Any questions please feel free to contact me at extension 1300.
