  Video learning utilizing video conference technology has been used between two high schools to deliver a shared curriculum allowing both schools to share teaching capabilities. A geography teacher trialed a "connected classroom" and it was a success. Students learned the geography curriculum using the virtual technology. Other subjects could also be taught, sharing teaching between schools. A video link was used allowing classes located on different sides of town could be together in one room. Not only could students see and hear the other class, they could see the information being taught and videos presented on an interactive whiteboard making the lesson more engaging. The new technology was clearly a benefit to these schools and could be the future in other schools where there is a limited number of children or in specialized subjects. This article informs, not only the public, but has the potential to excite educators worldwide of this technology as it's modernizing the world of education. It is valuable to the PLC since young teachers are being trained more on technology which is continuously advancing and entering schools everywhere. Video learning is a new phenomenon that can be beneficial in schools as it can reach several types of learners, both visual and auditory. Technology continues to advance and as it does all schools will have to grow with the progress.
