Florida State University's Institute for Successful Longevity - directed by CREATE's Neil Charness - recently launched an initiative to help older adults use the Zoom online video platform to stay connected with friends and family, to continue to learn and to stay engaged with the community during these uncertain and socially distant times. The Institute aims to help older adults who are not familiar with the Zoom video platform by providing illustrated 'how-to' documents that take you through the steps of creating a Zoom account, joining a Zoom meeting and scheduling meetings of your own. If you would like to learn more, or to share these tools with your friends and family, click here!
