Zoom Was A 70’s TV Show For Kids – Now It’s A Way To Stay Connected Online

Until recently, when I heard the word “Zoom,” I immediately thought of the 70’s TV show for kids with the catchy intro song. Remember the lyrics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7gzHLKT5g4.

Just last month, I utilized Zoom for the first time for online meetings. I’m still learning new things about Zoom, but it’s fun and fairly easy to use.

At ICAN we have moved all of our services to the virtual format to ensure safety while we continue to serve students. You can schedule virtual appointments with ICAN, via Zoom at www.icansucceed.org/apt. Make sure you enter an active e-mail address when you schedule your appointment, because you will receive your Zoom meeting invitation via e-mail. A few minutes before your appointment begins, check your e-mail account on a computer, not your phone. The reason for using a computer is because you will be asked to share your computer screen during the appointment. From your e-mail account, click your Zoom appointment link, and you’ll be “zooming” in no time!

If you have any challenges connecting with your ICAN Student Success Advisor, please contact your advisor directly by visiting https://www.icansucceed.org/about-ican/meet-the-team or call ICAN’s toll-free phone number at 877-272-4692.

Thank you, and take care!
