On day two of teaching Advanced ASP.NET 2.0 at Interface Technical Training, I implemented a newly discovered feature that allows students to easily follow along in the class - Windows Meeting Space.
Windows Meeting Space is an application included with the Vista operating system that allows someone to host a virtual meeting, and enable participants to view the host's desktop (or specific application like Powerpoint) on his/her monitor. It is also a great way to share codes samples and files instantly through a feature called "handouts".
I am very pleased to use this in the classroom. I am not the only one who sees the value. Already, some of my students who are "pair-programming" during the project assignments are using this application to view the other teammate's monitor and share files.
If you are running Vista and have not explored this feature yet - check it out!
