Overview: This course is all about Teams meetings. There are two main sections in this course (that have been lifted straight out of the Working Together course).

1. Teams Meetings as an Attendee – This first section starts off from the perspective of simply attending a meeting – you are just along for the ride; you are not running the meeting.  Honestly, you shouldn’t have to sit on a course to attend it, but I believe that you are here because you want to excel at being part of a virtual meeting, rather than just winging it and crossing your fingers.
   
   We make sure you are comfortable over where to find everything on your screen, and how to see things easily, like Chat and other attendees, while you are in a meeting. We are making sure you’ve mastered the art of a meeting – your background, your camera angle, lighting, your microphone, speakers. We talk about the different devices that you can be part of a Teams meeting on, as well as stepping you through transferring from a meeting on your computer to a handheld device and then to your car and back – like a pro!
   
   
2. Running a Meeting – In this second section, we progress to running the meeting.  How do you make all of that magic happen so it looks effortless?  (The secret is all in practice!)  It’s not that difficult to invite people and run a Teams meeting, but let’s be more aware of the tools at your fingertips so you can actually change up your virtual meetings and make them so much more effective.

Helping people to learn software tools so they can work together from wherever they are.. even from under a Palm Tree. Initial software tools that Rhonda taught on-line were focused around IBM Lotus Notes and Domino technical courses. And then there were many years of on-site and classroom teaching, consulting, developing, administration – mostly based around Notes and Domino, but more recent years across to Microsoft desktop products. Fast forward to 2023. Rhonda has relaunched Palm Tree Learning to focus on helping teams to work together utilising Microsoft Teams. Love my family. Love my God. Love music. Love trails. Love parkrun.
