Our latest contribution to The Orange Room is Ms. Monica Pierre's story about how, with the switch to remote instruction, she used Zoom to invite a guest speaker into her class. Inviting industry leaders to her classes to expose her students to real-world experiences and assignments is something she often does. The integration of Zoom into Brightspace makes it easy to setup virtual class meetings and invite guests.
