Description: In the 2007-2008 school year, all school districts participating in MAGPI-sponsored events will be required to have at least one person take the MAGPI Internet2 Commons Training Seminar. This seminar, offered bi-annually, is free of charge and conducted via videoconference; however, participants will need to travel to a host site (usually an IU) in order to take advantage of this opportunity. This training will familiarize participants with IP-based videoconferencing, GDS Dialing Scheme, common NAT and Firewall Issues, designing the videoconference space and etiquette.
