The planning committee has put together an agenda of timely topics that will help you continue to navigate this new era of teaching. Topics will include:
1. Karren Lusignan, Overview of the last Meet the Teachers presentation
2. Youngmin Lee, Technical issues, preparing your studio for teaching
3. Mel Beach, Zoom resources, tackling the challenge of becoming a Zoom pro
Following each presentation, participants will participate in chat room discussions exchanging ideas and experiences of what works and the pitfalls to avoid in teaching/lecturing online. Of course there will be the popular polls and chat room features so you can provide feedback and connect with other teachers. This will be a great chance to sharpen your game if you plan to present at the next NCQC Meet the Teachers event scheduled for September 9!
Pre Registration is required and the link was sent out via email to all current NCQC Teacher members.

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
