Ustream

With a webcam, you can broadcast anything you want, live to the Internet. Powerful stuff.

My tech II class today discussed practical business or educational uses of Ustream (as opposed to streaming World of Warcraft raids) We came up with these:
- Announcing a new product for a company
- Promoting your small business services (imagine a poor but talented graphic designer offering a screencast for a few scheduled hours every week to allow people to see how well they work from scratch) Or even a professional photography session for "Focus on You" photography... ;)

My tech class could teach a lesson in Photoshop, or how to present a PowerPoint, or act out a skit. We could even be answering questions that come up in the simultaneous chat that appears beside the video.

Limitless possibilities.
