Suggested Preparations BEFORE the Conference for Remote Sites with H323

• Download each speaker's PowerPoint presentation. Links for the slide show presentations are available under the description of each speaker, see http://www.indiana.edu/~futures/program.html By saving the presenters' slide shows you will be able to see a crisper image than what will see on the videoconference monitor.
• If you have two monitors available, show the live videoconference on one monitor. On the other monitor display the PowerPoint slide show that will be under your control. Thus you will be able to change the slides by clicking them forward or reverse.
• Another option is to print a hard copy of the PowerPoint slides in advance. Having a hard copy of the PowerPoint slide show means that you would only need one monitor.
• Print out copies of the Resources and have them available during the conference. In Indianapolis we are printing two (2) copies of each of the items listed in the Resources section of the Futures website. This way the participants will have the material available during the discussions. We are also encouraging participants to bring articles or materials to the conference that they believe will be useful in planning strategies for the profession of school psychology to address the most pressing needs of children, schools and families.
• The ability to access professional literature and web resources will be useful during the small group sessions. Access to PsycARTICLES, ERIC, or other databases with full test search engines will likely save time.
• Review the material in the E-Forum. Explore topics and practice posting a message in the "Test" Forum. Please take time to explore the E-Forum as this will be a primary vehicle of communication. Practice posting a message.
