Collaborative Learning Using Class2Class - FrontRow ITR-02 User Manual

Collaborative Learning using Class2Class

Class collaboration expands the reach of your lesson and introduces your class
to new and exciting experiences. The Juno system ensures everyone can hear
equally and participate in the learning forum.
Numerous online resources such as education.skype.com provide opportunities for your class-
room to participate in live educational events and projects with other classes and programs such
as Skype , Adobe ®

classroom partners. Use the Juno Tower to ensure all students are able to effectively participate in
the learning session by easily hearing the conversation as well as sharing their thoughts during the
session using the optional Pass-Around Microphones. For example, FrontRow classrooms have used
this technique to simultaneously connect 14 different classrooms to a live talk with an Olympic ath-
lete, and let students communicate with a NASA Command Center during an emergency simulation.
In both classrooms:
1. Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, plug the Audio Out from the Tower to the "microphone" or "line in"
on your computer.
2. Using a 3.5mm to RCA cable, plug the "audio" or "headset" out on your computer to one of
the audio in connections on the Tower.
NOTE: Some computers have a single audio combination jack for both microphone and headset
use. If your computer has this type of jack, you must use a headphone/microphone combo jack
splitter. This adapter has a single 3.5mm male connector and two 3.5mm female connectors.
3. Using the supplied USB cable, connect the Juno Tower to your computer.
4. Using the optional FrontRow Desktop or Teacher Edition software (download from
gofrontrow.com/guides-resources), enable the Class2Class option.
5. Install and run the communication software application (e.g., Skype
6. Connect to other classroom or collaborator using the communication software.
7. Speak into the Juno microphones; all microphone audio will be transmitted between
classrooms and audible via the Tower speakers.
8. If you like, you may start a recording of the session. Note that media audio originating from the
computer and audio from the remote classroom will not be recorded.
9. When finished, disable the
Class2Class option to
ensure that computer
audio is recorded during
normal recording sessions.
