Zoom instructions

Our school uses Zoom for live online lessons. Zoom lessons will take place in timetabled periods.

For all Zoom lessons, students are to log in with their Department of Education portal username and password.

Best practices in online live classes/meetings

Set up an appropriate space when connecting to your Zoom meeting. Consider what’s behind you and how it might look on-screen.

• Sit in a well-lit and quiet place.

• If there is a lot of background noise, a headset/mic will be best to use if you have one.

• Make sure your microphone is muted when not talking.

• Web meetings use more internet bandwidth than web browsing. You might need to keep your webcam off to improve quality.

• Be yourself and respect others.

• Ask questions using the group chat.

• Use reactions/emoticons to engage with your class.

• Read carefully what you’ve typed before sending your message in chat.

• Use the raise your hand feature if wanting to ask a question live.

Zoom

Students must use the NSW Department of Education Zoom and not their personal Zoom accounts.
