Virtual Classroom

The primary tool we will use for live, online instruction will be a program called Zoom.  Zoom allows for video and audio interaction with the teacher and other students while receiving direct instruction and working on activities.  This powerful tool also allows for private group chat and "breakout room" group activities.

ZOOM SHARE SCREEN FEATURE: Screen share allows for the teacher to present interactive lectures, videos, and slide shows to students during instruction.  This feature also allows for students to share their screens with the class for immediate feedback and editing on classroom work.

Use of Google Classroom

Google Classroom and Google Slides will be the other primary technologies used to facilitate online learning.  Classroom provides a platform for organization and access to classroom resources, assignments, activities, and lesson plans.  All posted resources will automatically download onto a student's Google Drive for future use.
