Zoom
Zoom is a video-chatting tool similar to Skype and Google Hangouts. Its instructional tools allow teachers and students to gather from afar and participate in a live and online eHomeroom. This online space is where teachers and students model and share their skills for learning. But it's also where they come to maintain that sense of community, even though they're all in different physical spaces.

There have been some important changes to how students access Zoom meetings for the 2021-2022 school year.
Students will not log in to the Zoom app itself
Students no longer have SSO access
Students no longer have their own, unique Zoom accounts
Students will launch Zoom meetings from a Google-authenticated app such as Google Calendar, Google Classroom, a Google Doc, or Seesaw
Click the Zoom link the teacher shared
teachers will let the students and parents know where the link is located (Calendar, Drive, Classroom, Seesaw, etc)
This will authenticate the student into the meeting without a separate Zoom login
