Video Conferencing through SKYPE

Knowledge can be grasped from everywhere. We do not restrict our pupils from learning from teachers and books only, but also involve expert opinion when needed.
When it came to VIII graders to learn about viral, bacterial and fungal diseases, we realized that it was best to have a doctor on board who could give the clearest possible idea of the subject and who better could it be than Dr. Darakhshan Shamsie, specialist in Internal Medicine, geriatric and Palliative care in upstate Rochester New York and another 4th year medical student Fizza Mahmud at Queens College New York.


Slide show of Video Conferencing / Skype Session.

Both the experts enlightened the students with valuable information on diseases. It was a one to one video conferencing session through Skype in which the students asked various questions to the experts in real time. This session further enhanced the student’s knowledge of the causes, symptoms and preventions of the various diseases.
