Audio+Conference+Calls

New Zealand schools are able to access the Ministry of Education's audio-conferencing facility. This audio conference facility enables school related conference calls at **no cost to schools**. Access is by way of a dial up 0800 number and specific pin number allocated to the school upon request.  MoE encourage lead schools in a cluster to apply for an audio conference PIN number then share that number with cluster schools. Use of the audio conference bridge is NOT restricted to calls specific to the ICT PD programme. This audio conference facility can be used for other school matters. Teachers and students who can make use of 3 ways land line calls for collaborative discussions can also use the audio conference bridge.

**If an individual school will make extensive use of the audio conference bridge for a variety of school related 3 way calls then that individual school may apply for a separate audio conference PIN number for it's own school related use. **   Don't miss out on this opportunity.

 Don't have a polycom? No worries. While ideal, I have also used a normal conference/speaker phone instead.

The audio-conference facility is not available for two-way calls -   at least three phone lines must be connected. **To register** please email Asn et Technologies Ltd at: vcsupport@asnet.co.nz. **To speed the process** you can complete the following form: To register to use the Ministry of Education Audio-conferencing Bridge please copy and paste the following into an email, complete the details and email to asnet  Technologies Limited ** at ** vcsupport@asnet.co.nz School:  Pin Owner:
