= ====Hello, My name is Chad Cunningham and I am a National Trainer/Curriculum Designer with the ALICE Training Institute in Medina Ohio. I just recently left the University of Akron Police Department as a Lieutenant in charge of Wayne College. I taught many safety classes for law enforcement and the community over my career. I have been training for ALICE over the last 8 years on a part time basis and now they have me full time. Part of the duties for my job is to revamp curriculum and build instructors (no there is not a 3D lab program for that). Having a software that I can use to talk to clients and the trainers, who live all over the United States is very important. ====

====This is my last semester in the Instructional Technology Masters program. I have this class and my portfolio to finish. The classes have helped me in the new career, looking at technology to enhance our training system. ==== ||

Zoom is a web meeting tool that can go beyond meetings. The Zoom software can support many different areas of business and learning when it comes to connecting people across vast miles or right next door. The Zoom software can allow you to have video conferencing, mobile collaboration and you can even get your own conference room. This software takes away the powerpoint only on the screen and replaces it with your colleagues, clients or students face.

Teachers and Trainers can use this tool to enhance their pedagogical approach with on-line learning. The tool can provide the ability to have a class meeting or session and provide a lesson with real time interaction. There is a free sign up provided on the website for anyone to use. This free or basic level of the software allows the owner to the following: You do get quit a bit of software for the basic model, but if you are going to use the software for a face to face class, the 40 minutes is probably not going to be enough. The upgrade to Pro will cost you a monthly fee but if you are using the software a lot it is not bad at $14.99 a month. ||
