Innovation isn't always about brand new technologies. When you use a tool you already have, in a new and powerful way, you can make the ordinary seem like magic. In this session, you will see concrete examples of how an online meeting software (Adobe Connect Meeting) was used to help elementary students interview video game experts from Georgia Tech. In addition, you will see how students at one school's beatnik-style poetry day were eliciting snaps from around the planet. Participants will learn how to gain access to a trial version of this product for free, understand why Adobe Connect was chosen over the others, and easily convince even the tightest purse strings that this solution uses the "addition by subtraction" or "return on investment" method of creative budgeting.
