They will share with you what they use for their businesses as well as great free resources on the web. Download their handouts below.

ABOUT ZOOM
Zoom is a rapidly growing video conferencing app. It works best on a computer, if your computer has a camera or webcam (most do) because the bigger screen allows you to see more. Download a small app in advance (zoom.us/meetings) or log in early and you will be prompted for the download. You can also download the Zoom app (aka Zoom Cloud Meetings) for an iPad or phone.
RESOURCES
