How to prepare for your first virtual session.
1. Download Zoom
You will need to install an app called Zoom (link below). Your learner will use Zoom to connect to the live session. Downloading the app is easy and takes about 10 seconds. You don’t need to set up a personal Zoom account to access sessions, so you can stop when you get to the sign-up screen.
2. Test Zoom
Join a test meeting with your learner to make sure Zoom is working properly on your device
Have your learner practice:
Turn off/turn on microphone
Turn off/turn on video
Click the ‘Participants’ button and use the ‘raise hand’ button
Click the ‘Chat’ button and type ‘hello’ into the chat box
3. Prepare for class
Review the Participant and Virtual Code of Conduct.
Make sure your learner’s webcam is working.
Find a quiet place for your learner to attend.
Make sure that any required materials are ready - paper, pen, tape, and scissors are required.
4. 5 minutes before class
Login to your Zoom meeting, enter password.
You will see a message that says “Please wait for the host to start the meeting”. Be patient, your coordinator will arrive!
Cameras must be on to participate in the session.
Screen names should be the student’s first name to allow coordinators to call on them by name.
Students may be muted upon entering the session.
