** What are my options for the way the video conference is viewed or managed? ** You have several choices in set up for a video conference:
 * 1) __**Participation**__: Events can be 'interactive participation' or 'view only'. Interactive is the stronger method of participation, however, viewing can have a good impact as well.
 * 2) __**VBrick**__ (view only/record): When facilities are not available but the conference equipment is or if multiple classes want to view, students and teachers may watch an event from a computer in a view only mode. Recording is available unless prohibited by the sponsor. See your Campus Specialist for appropriate setup to view from your classroom (limit 5 classrooms computers viewing a live event simultaneously).
 * 3) __**Connections**__: Connections are normally via Region 5, but not required if only 2 sites within LISD are involved.
 * 4) __**WHEN EVENT IS COMPLETE:**__ Use the link on the left of this page called "Evaluating Events" to provide feedback regarding your event.
