The Zoom Stretch

This is a subtitle for your new post

There are a lot of reasons why in-person meetings don’t involve a break every 12 minutes. It takes too long to stop and start up again. But this doesn’t apply to Zoom type meetings.

Screens off! Stand up. We’ll be back in 60 seconds could very well improve attention, efficiency and productivity. Why?

~If it’s not worth coming back, the meeting should have ended already.

~If you’re on the call, be on the call, lean in, let’s make something happen.



Otherwise you might as well find something else to do. What on-line requests of P-12 students are we making? Are they worth the time… or just taking up time?
