Come learn how to use this cloud-based video conferencing platform which lets you attend classes virtually and meet with others either by video or audio-only or both!  Zoom creates a way for in-person classes to still “meet” and enjoy the ability to connect with others. We will show you how to download the Zoom app and explore its basic features.  Also, we will create a “Zoom meeting” so you can practice and gain confidence in using it. Some helpful resources will be provided.  Bring your laptop, tablet, or phone (iOS or Android) to this class (you must know your username/password to access your account, please!)  Or if you prefer, we will provide a device for you to use.
