Enhancing the Class with Windows Meeting Space

On day two of teaching Advanced ASP.NET 2.0 at [itt], 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!
