Cu-SeeMe Software *White Pine
This is a video conferencing software program that you can purchase and download from the site below. Without purchasing the camera needed for video and the software, I can really only comment on the web page and suggest some possible uses.
- The CU-SeeMe site seems very complete and quite impressive. They offer several types of conferencing software that specifies the operating system requirements. From the “quicklinks” at the top of the page, you can access:
- technical support
- a video chat room (The White Pine Cafe) that uses Meeting Place software to link video conferences for cu-seeme program users
- a video chat directory that includes other countries
- distance learning- promoting ClassPoint software tools for teachers at discounted rates(seemed high to me) and great web resources for teachers
This page also includes lists of awards won in the past few years including Internet World’s “Best of Show”. The latest features of this software include multiple(12) video images at once, parental controls, and caller identification.

- Many uses came to mind as I searched through this site. This software could be used:
- to interview other students in other states or countries
- as to keep students stuck at home updated on class activities
- an instrument for principals to look in on students in class
- for parents to monitor behavior of their hyperactive children
- to enhance distance learning at the college level
- for multiple school conferences
- to look in on other classrooms’ activities and experiments
- to listen to stories read aloud by the librarian or senior volunteer
- to unite parents with the schools
