What Educators are Saying:
"Online Teaching with Zoom is timely and provides tips for educators who instruct virtually in a variety of settings (e.g., postsecondary institutions, elementary schools) and serve in diverse roles (e.g., presenter, trainer, faculty). Aaron Johnson offers readers a starting point to help them acclimatize to the "new normal" of instructing remotely."
- Lenette Sanders, Special Education Teacher and Doctoral Student in Educational Technology and Online Learning
"Best book on how to facilitate learning on Zoom I have read! So many useful suggestions and tools for experienced educators as well as those new to the learning environment. A must-read for all."
- Cathleen Korondi, Dental Hygiene Program Director, Illinois Central College
"This book is full of tips for using Zoom to best serve your students!"
-Leanee Mauna, Professor of English at Palomar College
"Not only is this book great for novice Zoom users (quite honestly veteran Zoom users could learn something as well) but it is easy to follow and contains many bits of very useful information that I never even thought about when running my sessions. The author does a great job of taking a quite possibly dry subject area and making it enjoyable for the reader."
