 * Create interactive presentations with chat
 * Make your site public or share with other schools
 * Weaknesses**
 * Advertisements on free site
 * Inappropriate language and/or content possible on public/shared tv channels
 * Time for customization beyond the basic use (but would be ok for school IT or techy teacher)
 * Opportunities**
 * Adopt a school in another part of the school and share and develop projects and collaborations
 * Create ways for teachers to archive lessons
 * Have lessons be recorded if a student is out of class so they don’t get behind
 * Broadcast school plays, sporting events, activities (might take better equipment)
 * Just like most sites that have public and shared material, like there may be the potential for them to view other videos and chats that could potentially be inappropriate.

 * Create a Live school tv station
 * Create a classroom tv station
 * Have a 24/7 access help center for your class with video library
 * Create a global collaboration with another school in another country and create multi-cultural tv station
