How do I connect with students?
You will need
A good internet connection
A laptop or desktop computer with a camera and microphone (these are usually built in with laptops, but are separate on desktops)
Most tutors use both of these online platforms to teach:
Zoom – videoconferencing platform which allows you to hold ‘live classes’ with your learners
Google Classroom – a Google site just for your course where your students can access materials and activities
Starting with Zoom
Starting with Zoom
Zoom is a videoconferencing platform that allows you to have a virtual meeting with your students online at the same time.
City Lit has a number of Zoom licences for tutors to use - you will be allocated your own Zoom licence.
Zoom allows you to:
share your screen and videos
to divide your students into small groups (break out rooms)
make use of a whiteboard

Starting with Google Classroom.
Starting with Google Classroom.
Google classroom is a virtual learning environment (or a special site just for your students) which allows you to communicate with students as a group, and to upload handouts, activities and resources for the whole class.
Students are provided with their Google classroom code, and details on how to log on, in their reminder email before the course starts.
To find out how to access and set up Google Classroom go to the link below.
If you are new to Google Classroom, follow the guidance for the basics. You can come back to review the more advanced features later.
