Description:
Wherever you are in the world, experience the Reef with Reef Videoconferencing. During this underwater fact-finding mission, your classroom will be transported to the Coral Reef and Predator exhibits at Reef HQ in Townsville, Australia. State-of-the-art technology unlocks unique teaching and learning experiences, including information delivered live by a scuba diver. Reef Video conferences are supported by comprehensive teaching materials, and educate students about a range of marine issues. Videoconferencing is a tool that allows users to see and hear the person they are communicating with. It is exciting, stimulating, easy to use and a great way to involve students in learning about the Great Barrier Reef. Reef Video conferences are very different from other multimedia resources, such as video recordings or television presentations, because they are interactive. Reef Videoconferencing can be facilitated nationally and internationally.

Educator Comments:
Very interactive with classes

They offered good connections, had excellent programs that kept students interested and engaged throughout - very interactive.

Our experience with the Reef HQ Aquarium was very positive! The diver was truly a teacher at heart. He interacted with the students in a positive manner and enjoyed the experience with them.

Level of interactivity high and very personable presenters with great content. Management of how content is provided in a natural environment excellent in the case of Australia (which has no competition as far as we're concerned).

The Reef is an amazing program with divers under water and great explanation. Very exciting program for all ages and parents.

I've been very impressed with the high level of quality.

Excellent camera work with expertise in knowledge of subject. Willing to work with school schedules. Also Fred's great sense of humor.
