Streaming sessions

[Chad Hobbs]

Alright, here is the deal on the classrooms. They have presentation kiosks
but do not have web cams for recording. They haven't gotten the latest
technology upgrade like what Garrett mentioned. They all do have Windows

we want to hook cameras up to them and use them as a point to stream from.
That can be set up the night before in the IT walkthrough.
