Incomplete Powerpoint on Videoconferencing



Things to avoid: - embarrassment - lack of listening - redundancy - do not make comments on technical difficulties

Good Practices: - State your name and school - Make sure you have a moderator - Say, "Thank-you and good-bye" when finished - Possibly beef things up with "what" and "why" questions; add depth to discussion
