FROM OUR ZOOM CO-ORDINATOR

PARTICIPATING IN RTA MEETINGS ONLINE

The best way of participation in the monthly meetings of the Retired Teachers Association is by attending in person. However, this is not always possible for some people.

To enable RTA members to participate using a computer, tablet, phone or other device a Zoom link to the meeting is opened.

Zoom uses a camera to show online participants the meeting and guest speaker. While it is better to have a camera on your device you do not need to have a camera.

 ORIENTATION TO ZOOM

If you are not familiar with zoom or just wish to check that you can connect successfully, an orientation meeting for RTA members will be open on Thursday 10th October from 1PM for  one hour.
