The Great Plains Conference has a large land area, and it can take hours to drive from one portion of the conference to another. It’s important, then, that to be as efficient as possible and to be good stewards that we make use of distance-meeting or distance-learning technology. Following are some options for meeting technologies currently employed by Great Plains United Methodists and how you can initiate their use.
Best for: Two-person meetings up to large groups. This option works really well for groups of any size who will be gathering via separate computers and not in groups of people.
How it works: Zoom is a web-based software that allows people to see each other while meeting over any distance. It features an option to record the meeting for those who cannot attend. And it provides a call-in option for people without video capability but who need to participate in the conversation.
