This week the discussion topic and interview center around the fairly recent availability and use of video conferencing tools to further ministry efforts.
The discussion:
Video Conferencing (4:15) – Martin and Sallie explore video conferencing, an emerging and flatening technology which allows congregations, schools and missionaries to connect across sometimes great distances for real-time, virtual face-to-face conversations, meetings, Bible classes and more. And it can be done for FREE!Web cameras – Episode 009 Picks of the WeekOne-on-one video conferencing toolsSkype – www.skype.comWindows Live MessengerAOL Instant Messenger – www.aim.comYahoo Messenger – messenger.yahoo.comMac OS X – iChatMulti-location optionsePop – www.wiredred.comVSee – www.vsee.comThe interview:
