BEFORE CLASS: ____________ πBe sure to have zoom downloaded and updated on your device. πMake sure you are logged into your Outschool account on that device as Zoom links cannot be shared. πYou will receive a PDF (usually sent on Sundayβs) that you can print or use on a tablet for further interaction in the class. πPlease have the designated class materials ready before the class meeting. πPlease have an extra device available for our game at the end of class (a phone or tablet will work just fine!) If you are unable to use another device you will receive a printout when your child enrolls that you can use during the game. πPlease post on our classroom page after you enroll so we can get to know your learner more! DURING CLASS: _____________ πPlease allow student time to adjust to the class. Not all students will be ready to speak on day one but they are learning! πBe ready to help with the mute/unmute function or other technology issues that may come up. πPlease have a quiet learning space. πWe will use Kahoot! But it is not necessary to have the app. In fact, the App often has glitches but you will be given a QR code to join during class! AFTER CLASS: ___________ You will receive the game link and an additional PDF to practice more from home. The class recording will automatically be posted to the classroom page so that you are able to practice from home if you missed class or if youβd like your learner to review.
