Birmingham Open House Launches Program

Jconnect officially launched yesterday with our first Open House. Hosted by the Krell family in Birmingham, 9 Middle School students and their parents came out to learn about our program and watch a demonstration of the technology in action.

From the Krell kitchen in Birmingham, these 9 students "sat in class" with two students in Memphis, a teacher in Jerusalem, and a special guest presenter in Tel Aviv. Through the online video conferencing platform, and using nothing more sophisticated than a standard webcam, everyone could see each other, interact with each other, and learn from one another.

The excitement at the end of the presentation was palpable.

Next stop New Orleans, next Monday night...
