1. Linking With Lync MAKING CONNECTIONS

2. The Two Lync Connections  Chat/Call  Informal  Be polite and ask your connection if they are free to chat  Can initiate chat with a whole group  Presentations/Training  For formal presentations or training  Participants can be Presenters or Attendees  Guests are those who do not have Lync installed https://meet.lync.com/coemailmurraystate- coemail/poakley/FTDQN7YZ

3. Using Lync  Become familiar with the Lync interface  Creating an invitation to a meeting (via Outlook)  Muting microphone  Sharing video (only when necessary)  Sharing  Desktop  Whiteboard  Polls

4. Before You Present  Do a test connection before your presentation  Have a colleague connect with you and practice your presentation, including:  showing any whiteboards,  presentations,  polls, or  sharing your desktop

5. As a Presenter  Create your link to your Link presentation in Outlook calendar (can do this with the Outlook Web App 2013 or desktop client)  Send the link to participants  If working with someone else as co-presenters, test your audio and create polls before others connect Join Lync Meetinghttps://meet.lync.com/coemailmurraystate- coemail/poakley/FTDQN7YZhttps://meet.lync.com/coemailmurraystate- coemail/poakley/FTDQN7YZ

6. Using Polls  If you want to create polls before you start, connect early  Create and name them for easy access  Will disappear if you leave the connection  Know how to share them and show results

7. As a Participant  To access training, click on the link you received  Once you are admitted, be sure your microphone is muted in Lync  Do not start your video unless you are asked to do so by the presenter  Ask questions in the chat window

8. Using the Microphone  If you are asked by the presenter to speak, unmute your microphone, but remember to mute it when you are finished  Be sure you are in a quiet space if you are going to be talking  Background noises are distracting to other participants

9. Using Lync in the Classroom  Foreign language classes  Comparing geographical regions of Kentucky  City life vs. country life (i.e., City Mouse & Country Mouse)  Comparing weather through the year  Authoring books together (My Trip to ____________)  Comparing Civil War battles in different areas
