Before the Meet:

• Find a comfortable, quiet, spot to sit. It is best to keep your device on a steady surface if possible. Make sure your background is school friendly and that you’re dressed as if you were at school. A blank wall or background is recommended.

• Be on time for the Meet, 1-2 minutes early.

• Let your teacher enter the Meet before you do.

When the Meet Starts:

• It is best practice to Mute your microphone upon entering the Meet.

• Unless instructed otherwise, be sure your camera is on, so your teacher can see you.

During the Meet:

• Be patient, this is a learning experience for everyone.

• Use headphones with a microphone when possible.

• Be engaged. Pay attention to when others are speaking.

• Unmute your microphone when your teacher asks you to talk. Mute your device again when you are done speaking. Be sure to speak clearly.

• Use the chat feature on the right to ask questions and share resources.

• Even when you are not in your school building, our school rules, values, and expectations still apply.
