Zoom is a video-conferencing tool. Using Zoom, students and instructors can connect synchronously in a virtual face-to-face environment.
Zoom can be used to create a virtual classroom where participants can share documents, collaborate on projects, and communicate via chat, video, and voice in real time. Zoom can be useful for virtual office hours, team meetings, weekly check-ins, online classes, and more. For more ideas about how Zoom can be used, contact your CTET instructional designer.
