LEARNING FROM HOME

TIPS

SETUP

1. Create bookmarks (favourites) for each of the following:
   
• Google classroom
• This website
• Our Google Meet*
• Morning Announcements
• Gmail
• Any other regularly used site

* Note: Mr. C. uses the same link for Google Meet for the entire semester. Not all teachers do this.

2. Organize all your bookmarks so that everything is easy to find.

LOCATION

1. Try to have a designated location where you connect to the classroom every day.
   
   
2. You need a solid surface for your computer and to write on. A desk or table are the best options.
   
   
3. Do not setup in front of a television.
   
   
4. Ideally, your location should be a quiet place where there are no distractions.
   
   
5. If you are sharing a location with others, consider using earphones. Muting the tab is not an option as you will not hear your teacher.

HARDWARE

1. Make sure your microphone works.
   
   
2. Make sure your video camera works.
   
   
3. You are encouraged to have earphones nearby.

DAILY ROUTINE

1. Try to arrive five minutes before the beginning of the period.

2. Focus on the entire lesson.

3. Ask questions. Somethings might not be as clear through a video feed.

4. Do the assigned work every day. Do not put it off.

SUBMITTING WORK

1. You will submit work via email or in Google Classroom.
   
   
2. Do not put comments in Google Classroom assignments if you are needing an immediate answer. Such comments will only be read at marking time and that is sometimes many days later.
