[NFB-Idaho] an exciting opportunity for our members and blind people around the state

[president at nfbidaho.org]

I have the zoom invitation and I did sign in with a password. There is a training on Friday morning at 11:00. I hope I haven't gotten myself into something that is too technical for me. I may need your help and expertise. Thanks.

Hi all,

 

Here is a great resource on what Zoom has to offer and how to use it.  The mobile application, desktop client, as well as the phone interface are all accessible with assistive technology.

If I can help any of you use zoom or get a feel for it, let me know—I have used Zoom both as a meeting host and as a participant regularly for the past three years.

 

Regards,

Tj

P.S.  I hope all of you are doing well, have everything you need, and are staying healthy.  If there is anything I can do, please, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Hi.
This is very exciting. Please reach out to Tj and myself if you have any
questions. WE use Zoom on a regular basis for both of our jobs and would be
happy to share what we know.
Leslie

Last evening I participated in a discussion lead by President Riccobono
regarding using Zoom to do on-line meetings and events for members and other
interested blind people. Colorado affiliate is doing this now and I have
joined their call. In addition to conducting chapter meetings, we could do
activities such as discussing a Braille Monitor article for philosophy, have
a book discussion using a book written by a blind person, have speakers
outside our affiliate speak on topics which are suggested, have a social
time just to have community. The ideas are endless and as varied as we want
to make them. We can get a Zoom platform through our national office and I
have requested this. I would like to have feedback and ideas about topics or
activities that we could do. Many affiliates are reaching out to their state
agencies and have been able to have consumers notified of these activities.
I think this has great potential to build our community in a time when we
are all looking for community. You don't have to have a computer to use the
Zoom platform. It can be done on the phone. Please pass this information on
to others that aren't on this list.  Let me know your ideas.
