Tips for students to assist students with their organisation

Managing your work

· Follow your school timetable:

o Y7-9 students; use the timetable provided to ensure that you complete the work set and attend all of the Zoom lessons.

o Y10-13 students; create your own timetable, based on your school timetable and record when the Zoom lessons are and the work that needs to be set for each subject.

Managing your emails

· Create folders for your emails. In Gmail folders are called ‘Labels’. Create a ‘Label’ for each subject and put your emails into the relevant Labels. Delete emails that you have actioned (done).

· Reduce the number of emails you receive by turning off unnecessary notifications in (for example) Google Classroom.

Changing Your Display Name in Zoom Rooms

Students that use other students’ computers may be confronted with a situation where their display name is not accurate when entering Zoom rooms, or they have changed their name to a nickname.

To change a display name, students should follow the steps below:

1. From the Zoom Room click on the "Participants" icon at the bottom of the window (shown circled below).

2. A Participants window will appear. Click the "Rename" button (shown circled below).

3. Enter your new name in the "New Screen Name" field and be sure to have the "Remember my name for future meetings" checked.
