 * Description**

I used a webcam to communicate with colleauges about information. I spoke to a couple colleauges regarding the planning of some upcoming events in the school.


 * Reflection**

This is a neat tool that has multiple used. Because the assignment was to communicate with colleauges, I did not branch out. However, this could have been used for students to create video projects or communicate with other students to collaborate on projects. In my trials with the webcam, I found it innvigorating and useful. It was refreshing to get answers without multiple messages and see the persons facial expresions and vocal tone. All of this without leaving my seat. As we talked, I could pull up documents or explore websites related to the topic. This is a wonderful tool for collaboration, especially across longer distances.
