The photo presentation our NARGS chapter enjoyed was not on PowerPoint. It was just an ordered sequence of jpgs, and the presenter advanced it (or backed up) by clicking on a control that apparently she could see, but the audience could not see it. The images didn't include the plant names, but I think there are ways to add a label to an image on most photo managing applications. I've recruited, sat through, and presented a lot of programs like this, and I have some suggestions (i.e., I hope they are rules) about preparing them. We should, for instance, limit the number of images and the total time, because staring at a screen can be almost as tiring as sitting in a folding chair while a speaker tells you everything there is to know about 100 species in a genus of plants you can't grow. However, on Zoom you can turn off your personal video, so they won't see you reading a book instead of staring at the 78th Dionysia photo.

At this time, PBS has an account that allows the Board to meet using Zoom and because we have just the one license, I act as host. I'll be glad to check into an institutional-type account where various members could use it, but there would have to be some planning in terms of scheduling and topics as well as frequency in order for members to find it most useful. This is certainly a topic I will put on the Board's agenda for its February meeting as there is a lot of interest in pursuing these programs. > > I'll be saving your suggestions, because to me the most important aspect is accessibility of members to the programs and making a variety of topics available. > > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
