Zoom for Education - National Project Update


We would just like to remind you of the Zoom for Education bulk licence special offer, which is closing on Friday the 25th of September. 

For more information and to sign up for this offer, please click the following link: https://forms.gle/CYpRrzoLLuSPaexq5 

We understand the pressure that principals have been under to re-open schools, and now that they are open, it is time to put in place the support necessary to keep everyone in education. 

It is clear from the recent Department of Education guidelines that provision must be made for at-risk pupils and teachers across the country and the Zoom project will assist in this regard.  
 

This project will deliver huge savings and benefits for each school that participates and is available to every primary and post-primary school in Ireland.

This offer is open to every primary and post-primary school in Ireland. 
 

IMS is holding a free information webinar for all schools next Thursday at 7.30 pm to answer all questions schools may have around this offer.  
 

Webinar Registration Link: https://ims.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2wXlDkYRTtanif1k8yqdtA  
 

This webinar is open to Teachers, SNAs, Board of Management, and Parent Association members. 

10 Great Reasons to use Zoom in your School 

  1. Online teaching for at-risk students who cannot attend school 

  1. Online teaching for at-risk teachers who cannot attend school 

  1. Distance Learning platform in the event of further school closures 

  1. Continuous Professional Development sessions for all staff 

  1. All Parent / Teacher Meetings 

  1. Parent information sessions over Zoom webinar 

  1. School Assemblies over Zoom webinar 

  1. Staff Meetings over Zoom Meeting 

  1. Board of Management Meetings over Zoom Meeting 

  1. Parents Association Meetings over Zoom Meeting 

An important point to remember is that just because a school has Teams, G Suite or WebEx, this does not preclude them from using Zoom. In fact, there is no conflict at all; Zoom complements and enhances all existing learning management systems, it is more robust, easier to use, has superior video and audio quality, and user awareness than any other conferencing system. Zoom is not a document sharing system. 
 

Your involvement is vital, this Zoom project requires minimum participation numbers at a national level to achieve these savings.
