ZooCon
ZooCon promotes collaboration between students and local and international zoological experts sharing global issues. In partnership with the Naples Zoo, this fully interactive experience enables thousands of students to participate by using video conferencing technology. Experts on location at the Zoo and through video conference from abroad interact with students viewing the live event in the classroom. Students ask questions of the experts and classroom curriculum is aligned to each topic.
ZooCon events are streamed LIVE on The Education Channel online and on cable channel 99 on Comcast/Xfinity and CenturyLink.
