Hello! I am looking forward to our first session tomorrow, September 1st, at 2:00 PM. We will meet on Zoom using this link. (I will send you the password through Blackboard.)
For many of us (myself included), remote teaching and learning is new. This semester will be a practice in patience and learning together! To that end, here are some guidelines and suggestions for our time on Zoom.
- We will meet on Zoom every Tuesday from 2:00-3:15. This meeting is required for the class and the sessions will not be recorded. I suggest you put this meeting day/time in your calendar as a regular appointment for the whole semester.
- Treat this time as class time, which means remove as many distractions as possible (e.g. put your phone on Do Not Disturb/turn the ringer off). If you are able to set up an uninterrupted place for class time (and your other work), please do so. I understand that you may be in a shared space and that this may not be possible.
- You are encouraged to turn your video on but this is absolutely not required.
- Please keep your mic on mute unless you are speaking.
- We will discuss ways to communicate and participate when we are all in class tomorrow (e.g. the chat box, the “raise hand” feature” etc.)
Feel free to be in touch with any questions and I will see you tomorrow at 2pm!
