2011-2012 Polycom Special Events

Polycom Special Events are designed to provide Polycom customers free curriculum-rich videoconferencing connections in order to demonstrate the power of the technology to support learning.

Polycom Special Events include: connections to renowned authors, experts in the field, famous locations.

Author interviews: require a book to be read and use the ASK Process (Authors Specialist and Knowledge) Link to the ASK process preparation - http://askprocess.wikispaces.com/

Registration: takes place in CAPspace (http://projects.twice.cc), requires a CAPspace account and verified Polycom equipment. A live stream of the event is available upon request - polycomspecialevents@gmail.com 

Check your calendars carefully (teacher conferences, vacation days, state testing) and make sure your class is available before registering. Cancellations are requested 4 weeks in advance to give another class a chance to participate. Important change in policy: Due to the popularity of these programs, cancellations must be made a minimum of 2 weeks in advance of the program date. Cancellations with less than 14 days notice will result in a hold on your account prohibiting your participation in Polycom Special Events for the rest of the year (snow days, power outages, etc. do not apply).

In the side bar on this page is a link to the student permission form. If you do not have a comprehensive media form on file for each student at your school, you must complete this form, scan the forms and email them to elaine.shuck@polycom.com

Each event will have an equipment test date scheduled prior to the event. You will be emailed the date and time of the test. Once you have successfully tested for one event, you do not need to test for other events.
