Tip of the Week: Wired vs WirelessInterested in showing a YouTube (or other internet video)  in class? Do you have a guest speaker that is planning on joining class remotely using Skype, iChat, or other  video conferencing software? Here ‘s how to get the best possible performance:

When playing a video on the internet (often referred to as streaming video) or using videoconferencing software, there is more demand placed on network resources. Connecting to the wired network  (instead of the wireless network) will assure the best possible connection.To connect to the wired network, you will need a network cable, (often referred to as an Ethernet cable).Need help getting started? I would be happy to schedule a practice session with you!
