c.      To receive credit for virtual training, NCDA&CS requires the following of all attendees:

Here are the available options:

As a result of COVID-19, most of our Extension meetings will be held virtually in the next few months. The platform that we will be using is Zoom. Zoom will allow participants to both see and hear the presenter. Participants will also be able to view the speaker’s screen, ask questions by chat or microphone, and be seen (or not) by other participants. As a participant, you control both your camera and your microphone.

You can participate in a Zoom meeting using laptop or desktop computers, tablets, or a smartphone. In addition, you can call in using a regular telephone, however, functionality will be limited and this will not allow you to receive pesticide credits. Using a larger screen will provide a better viewing experience for graphics and tables.

If you would like to be seen and heard, you need to make sure you have a camera and a microphone. Some computers and monitors have built-in cameras and microphones as is the case for most tablets and smartphones. Again, to receive pesticide credits you will need a camera.

If you need a camera or a microphone, you can order these from almost any electronics supplier. I checked this morning and the cost is about $40 and up. You could also choose a monitor with built-in options. We will be offering in-person options for very small groups when other options are not possible and it is our strong desire that everyone receive the necessary support.
