It is vital to have a videoconferencing plan of events, or timeline, in order to maximize the use of the videoconferencing connection time.  The plan can be a simple outline, a detailed chain of events, or an outlined step by step process.  Whatever method is used, it is vital to develop the project plan with the videoconferencing partner in order to insure smooth sessions during a videoconference.

Sample Timeline for Videoconferencing session
A timeline and detailed lesson plan can save all participants time and alleviate confusion about what is happening during the videoconferencing session.  It is important to establish early in the discussion between conference planners, the priorities for student objectives, so that the videoconferencing session meets expectations for all parties.  Thoughtful discussion and planning insure success.   		Print/Microsoft Word version of Timeline
