The Vital Safer Internet Day 2012 "Bring and Try!"

The Vital Safer Internet Day "Bring and Try!"

The context of Safer Internet Day 2012 is sharing internet skills with others, "Connecting Generations and Educating Each Other." So, instead of having a "bring and buy sale" to celebrate this international event, our unique TeachShare "Bring and Try" hosted by Lesley Simm, invites you to bring a tried and tested e-safety idea or resource to share with colleagues. All ideas welcome, please do join us for what should be a really interesting evening.

What is a Vital TeachShare?

A TeachShare is a short online session (up to an hour) using Blackboard Collaborate videoconferencing software, in which the TeachShare host leads an online discussion on a specific topic. The sessions are free to join, and no advance booking is required, you can just turn up and join in!

What equipment do I need to join a TeachShare?

All you need in terms of equipment is a computer connected to the internet, and a set of headphones (you can check that your computer meets the miminum system requirements here). A microphone is useful if you want to join the discussion, although not essential; if you do not have a microphone you can join in using text chat. No prior experience of using Blackboard Collaborate is required, although if you are a new user, we recommend you join the session 5-10 minutes early to run through the setup.
