Learning2gether with EFL Magazine Online Teaching Summit and Nellie Deutsch showing us Zoom

Learning2gether Episode 304

Learning2gether had a longtime arrangement to meet with Nellie Deutsch on Dec 6 on Zoom Meetings vs. Virtual Classes. When I became aware that she was also deeply involved in the two day EFL Magazine Online Teaching Summit hosted by Philip Pound Dec 5 and 6 I asked her if she was sure she wanted to keep her commitment. After all she was involved in setting up WizIQ for the conference and was constantly listening in and interjecting where needed Saturday and Sunday. Plus, the time she had agreed to demonstrate Zoom, she was also due to speak at EFLMOTS the following hour. In the end, she did it all, and seamlessly.

In this video you can see the result from the perspective of a participant who recorded in Camtasia and posted to YouTube: https://youtu.be/QqV0VAU3sS4

Nellie shared the mp4 she produced as host of the event in Zoom  and I posted that to YouTube: https://youtu.be/R-3f3Cz8WYs

Here is how we introduced Nellie’s Learning2gether event

Dr. Nellie Deutsche will showcase Zoom.com and compare it to virtual class platforms such as Adobe Connect, BB Collaborate, Mconf/BBB and WizIQ and how you can get them all for free. There will be a discussion of the pros and cons of each.
