About videoconferencing
Now you can experience a Museum of London session without even leaving the classroom!
Each session allows your pupils to interact with characters or educators from the Museum and to investigate objects from our collection, via a television screen or interactive whiteboard.
Equipment
If you have not made a videoconference before:
- check with your school’s ICT department to find out if you already have videoconferencing equipment.
