Videoconferencing
1) Arrange small group activities, such as role playing an issue or planning a debate, at local sites before asking groups to respond via the videoconferencing system to all sites. You may determine if a sample of responses is sufficient or if each group needs to respond to the larger group.

2) Conduct a question and answer session with students at various sites. Remember to allot more time than you think you will need. Students will have to unmute the microphone and then push the microphone button.
