Zoom - Buzzwords

"Work pals who Zoom together, stay together." (taken from an article "36 captions for Zoom Meetings, not attributed to anybody in particular) I’d never heard of Zoom before a few short years ago. But in my teaching it became a thing I had to know. It took about a week to learn, for I’m a little slow, but after two years I can say I still am not a pro! I made up terms: Zoom on; Zoom off. I only can suppose that others working from their homes have made up terms like those. These days I teach while in the classroom, yet up on the screen are kids I bet are still in “jammies,” just their faces seen! Some young adults opt to stay home. It makes things hard for me. Games can’t be played when half the class is learning virtually! Things can get crazy when somebody isn’t using Mute, and you might hear some background noises not exactly cute. We teachers know not everyone is focusing on class. One good thing is no one has to know if you have gas! Yes, it’s a crazy world, and even Zoom dating’s a thing, while Zumping is the latest craze to dump a Zoom-time fling. Feb. 2, 2022 for the Buzzwords Contest of Kim Rodrigues
