What is a Webcast?
This is an expanded version of our popular audio conferences. You will
need a computer and the ability to get on the internet... and a
telephone. That is it. No special hardware; no special software. You
will be given an address on the Web at which you will sign in with a
password that will be given to you in your registration confirmation.
You will be able to see the presenter's desktop and see what he or she
is doing as you watch. Like all audio conferences, there is no limit on
the number of people that might be around the phone at each location.
The limitation will be in how many people can comfortably see the
computer. If you have a data projector, there is probably no limit.

About the presenter.....
Tanya Zaritzky has been Manager of Communications at Historica
Foundation for the past three years. Based on user feedback, Tanya
worked with her Web partners at 7th Floor Media to overhaul the
histori.ca Web site in 2005. The new histori.ca provides a more
streamlined gateway to the educational programs and authoritative
resources that people count on. As you can see from this bio, Tanya
spends far too much time thinking about the new Web site and is
passionate about Historica's work - who better to tell you about
histori.ca?

Developed for the Education Institute by the Ontario School Library
Association, a division of the Ontario Library Association.
