What is Zoom?
Zoom is a flexible video-conferencing platform that can be used for virtual classes and meetings.
What is Zoom good for?
Zoom gives you a way to communicate with your students when you’re not in the same physical space. It allows you to do much of what you would normally do in a classroom: display slides, assign students to breakout rooms, etc. It also has features like polls, chat, recording, and whiteboards. It’s also a convenient way to hold office hours so more students can join and get the help they need.
