None "we simply have shifted gears and did it rather quickly."

Sara nicolette, is the l- p-n coordinator for herkimer boces.

She is teaching her classes on zoom.

"we are actually doing live lectures for 2 and 3 hours."

Several businesses are also working remotely.

That's why northland communications is helping local businesses continue operating during this crisis with their product called accession.

"our accession platform is built on the zoom platform, enables them to start meeting a link on their calendar to send an invite out to the participants their looking for set up video call like the one we're on right now" this is a resource all businesses in central new york and surrounding areas can utilized for free until june 30th.

"this is quickly becoming our new norm, learning this on the fly."

A new norm that we've all had to adjust to.

Even though this technology has been around for awhile, it's not something most people were using to hold business meetings or college classes.

And now, it's going to be used for recruiting new students.

"i can't have open houses like i have in the past but i can have virtual open houses."

"we are getting ready to go for next year, there is a desperate need for nurses there was before and now even more so."

Besides working and learning, platforms like accession and zoom are important to keep people connected.

"keep those connections going and probably more important than ever right now."

"ive heard people talking about social distancing is a bad word it should be physical distancing social engagement no matter how we do it is what's really going to get everybody through this" caitlin irla, news channel 2.
