Gain Confidence by Practicing your Zoom Skills Including the Latest Updates

Session 1: 10:30am-12:00pm (Friday March 01, 2024)

 

Description

ESL Instructors at San Diego College of Continuing Education attend regular monthly “Zoom for Instruction Meet-ups” where Zoom updates are demonstrated, and faculty can practice Zoom skills before taking them live in the classroom! Experienced Zoom users demonstrate Zoom tips and techniques, then make the attendees hosts or co-hosts so that they can “take the reins” and practice with real, live participants before going live with these new skills. In addition, this is an opportunity for participants to ask about Zoom features they’ve heard about but never used, or to ask how to do something that they don’t know how to do. Join our session to learn about the latest ZOOM Updates including the AI companion, practice in a supportive environment, and most importantly gain confidence with your ZOOM skills.
