Zoom Lessons

A few months ago you never heard of Zoom. Today, you use it several times a week. I think you should consider taking the online Zoom course I took earlier this week.


The Zoom people gave me permission to share this with you. It’s a recap of what they taught us. There are a ton of options that will surprise you and make your communications with groups so much fun and productive. If you want to view my lesson, or take one on your own, just email me. loisw@hwhpr.com.


Tomorrow I will cover Zoom Etiquette. Some folks need to learn online manners. I’m not saying that I don’t have my faults, but oy, the things I have seen.
