Anne did a wonderful job as a host (!), and I had so much fun experimenting and learning all about the Zoom.

As you can see, my presentation is short and sloppy, but I spent lots of time exploring what I can do with this platform. My learning objectives were...
1) to use various sound files effectively
2) to try different layout styles
3) to experiment how virtual background works.

Some of the tricks I learned this week....

--It is possible to have fake participants or virtual guests--it would be useful in case guest speakers can't make it to the meeting. This only worked with my iPhone 8 (not iPhone 5 or my old iPad).

--You can embed a sound file on each PPT slide and create sounds as if someone were speaking.

--You will not hear the sound unless you put a check mark on "Share Computer Sound" when you share your PPT file. (...so I should be able to hear the BGM of Kahoot?)

--It is possible to change the vertical layout style so you can view in Side-by-Side Mode. Just drag the video boxes and push toward the top of the screen.

--Only four participants were shown (and one person's video box was hidden) probably because I didn't put a check mark on "Display up to 49 participants."
