While many of us are social distancing ourselves, it doesn't mean we can't meet, it just means we can't do it near to each other.
Back when I lived in a lower class section of the city, this was the norm. People would stand on their porches and yell to each other, often using words I wouldn't (or couldn't) use. I'm not suggesting we do that.
What we can do is use the old school phone and call one another.
Another way that I have been using with a couple of organizations are online meetings. I attend them using my smartphone and computer. In fact, a local Scout Troop will be doing a Court of Honor from one of our newest Eagle Scouts using this technology!
Here are some of the options that are free for at least 40 minutes with unlimited participants:
- Uber Conference (https://www.uberconference.com/)
- Zoom (https://zoom.us/)
- WebEx
There are also general text, voice, and video apps
- What's App
- Line App
- Google Duo
- Marco Polo
- Skype
Do you have a favorite or two you have used that I haven't listed? Leave a comment!
Enjoy,
