Students will not need anything special for this class. They will only need a working electronic device that can operate both Zoom and the Nearpod website. 

I recommend that students bring a pencil and a notebook to class, to write down new vocabulary. Alternatively, their parents can print out the vocabulary list for them, which I'll provide each day in advance. 

このクラスでは、Outschool内のクラスルームに加えて、以下を使用します。
Nearpod
Kahoot

Please note that I use Nearpod for my lessons. Nearpod is a website that allows teachers to create slide presentations with interactive activities for students. A link will be provided via the Zoom chat box during the live class to access Nearpod. I will also provide the necessary 5 digit code to access the lesson. If students wish, I can also provide them with a link to access the lesson on their own time after class. 

I may use Kahoot in this class. or I may not. Kahoot is a website where teachers design quiz games for students to test their knowledge and review what they've learned. If I use Kahoot in class, I will provide students with the necessary link and Game PIN to access the Kahoot game. I will also include this information in the virtual classroom, for students who wish to play the Kahoot game at a later time. 

Please note that I cannot provide Zoom links for students to enter the session. Outschool does not allow this. 
*****************************
TECHNOLOGY NOTE

Children should be able to handle technological functions like accessing the Zoom chat box, turning on or off their microphone on Zoom, clicking a link to open the Nearpod website, navigating to the Nearpod website, and opening a new tab on their internet browser to see the Nearpod website. They should be able to click answers to questions on their screens. It would also be good for them to know how to navigate between Zoom and an external website, since they'll need to do this during class to participate in the Nearpod games.

SKILLS REQUIRED

Students need to be able to read to participate in this class. Students should also be able to write down their own vocabulary lists, either before or during the lesson, or their parents can print out the vocabulary list for them. They'll need the list to do many of the activities and play the games during the live class.
