In this guide, we'll explore online tools and best practices for transitioning your practice online.
When making the transition to working with students online, consider the tools necessary for an organized and engaging experience.
Connecting face-to-face using video and audio conferencing software will help you to maintain your personal connection with students even when working at a distance.
When you are not meeting in person with families, sharing files digitally will cut out the need to print and ship clunky paper files. And, using a file sharing platform eliminates messy email attachments.
Using a tool to manage your availability and simplify how meetings are booked will eliminate the back and forth scheduling emails and cut right to a time that works best with everyone.
Working remotely with students increases your need to have all the information you’ve collected and communicated with clients available in one place and accessible anywhere.
Zoom's meeting capabilities make it easy to start, join, and collaborate across any device.
Multiple participants can share their screens simultaneously and co-annotate for a more interactive meeting.
Record your meetings locally or to the cloud, and leave the note taking to Zoom’s auto-generated, searchable transcripts.
Zoom gives you the option to connect one-on-one or in a group meeting format. You'll always look meeting-ready with Virtual Backgrounds and Touch Up My Appearance. And, Zoom Meetings for mobile provides the same great experience that you’d expect from the desktop client.
One place to store all your files, accessible from anywhere. Exchanging files with your students has never been so simple.
Easily manage your availability and simplify the way in which students, parents, and even prospective clients book meetings with you.
Manage a task list for both you and your students and utilize automated text message and email reminders for students and parents.
Conversations consolidate text messages and emails in one place. It’s the most effective and efficient way to communicate.
Connect with your students, keep their attention, and deliver the information they need to keep them on track.
