Using Zoom

In an attempt to keep everyone safe during the COVID pandemic the St. John Valley Senior College is offering some of its classes on the internet using Zoom. Anyone with a computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone) and a internet connection should be able to take part in our Zoom classes. To attend a Zoom class you must register in advance with your email address so that we can send you and email invitation with a link to the class.

If this is the first time you are using Zoom there are a few things you should do in advance to become familiar with Zoom.

Watch these short videos:
