Hosting great Zoom calls with deaf and hard of hearing participants
Channel: Talk Town
Date: 2020-04-29

This video covers some easy, effective tips to help make your Zoom meetings or lessons more accessible, inclusive and engaging for deaf and hard of hearing participants. I initially created this video for mainstream classroom teachers, but hope it will be helpful for a range of viewers. I talk about how to optimise your video and sound quality, and ways to structure and run your session. Hopefully, this video is the first in a series supporting a range of different participants as we move to online working and learning. Future videos will be produced in English and New Zealand Sign Language. Please get in touch if you can help with translation to other languages!
