ITF HQ Zoom Online Seminar

A review on the ITF HQ Zoom Seminar held Sunday 7^th March:

A month ago, Master Zibby Kruk asked Master Shane Fitzgibbon, Master Natasha Manavaki and myself Sabum Peter Kent-Marrast to put together an online Zoom seminar with the main aim; to help instructors and other group leaders, new or experienced, to get the best out of Zoom.

Since the global Covid pandemic, most of us have embraced Zoom so that our schools could survive the multiple lockdowns that we all have been hit by. However, after one year on Zoom it has become a large part of our lives, and when the pandemic is over we will be able to use it as a great tool for our schools and clubs. This Zoom seminar was a great highlight of how to use Zoom as a tool. The majority of us have just used the basics of Zoom rather than looking to use it in an in-depth way. 

We as a team, put out heads together to brainstorm, and achieved a good platform for Master Fitzgibbon to present at the seminar. Master Fitzgibbon’s brilliantly professional job showed evidence of a lot of planning and preparation. Many of us, including myself and Master Manavaki, learnt a lot from his presentation. 

This Zoom Online Seminar has been of great value to all of us, and one year into this pandemic, any information and training skills that we can pick up are greatly appreciated.
