Note For Class:
If possible, we prefer students to be on a computer (rather than an iPad or phone) so they can see everyone more clearly and access their portal documents for class.

TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FIRST CLASS:
-
Be sure to download the Zoom application to your computer well before the first class. You can do so here: https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting. Make sure to download the “Zoom Client For Meetings.”
-
Watch this video for great tips on how to set up for the call from photographer Matthew Rolston: http://tinyurl.com/CBYASwebcam
-
Choose a location with a strong internet connection. Ideally hard-wired in. If you are not sure if your connection is fast enough go here: https://tinyurl.com/CBYASspeed. (It will help if you close all devices except your Camp Zoom Meeting window.)
FOR CLASS:
-
Set up in a private, quiet room, with no distractions or other people, where you will be able to easily stand or sit.
-
Please use a simple chair, one that is not too padded and does not swivel.
-
The camera on your device should be at eye level or slightly above.
-
Set up where there is light on your face and where your teacher can clearly see your eyes. (Don’t set up with your back to a window. This will create a silhouette, which is not good for visibility. It’s better for you to be facing the window.)
-
Use the restroom before the class begins.
-
Use headphones if there is background noise.
-
Have a glass of water on hand.
-
Make sure that you have your any material you need printed out, with a pen and paper handy to take notes. (Have any notes from previous sessions on hand.)
-
Have this portal page open for ready access.
-
Be at your computer ready to go a few minutes before class. You can click the link at the top of this page: “Join Zoom Meeting” to join the class. This will open up your Zoom application on your computer and connect you to the online classroom.
-
Feel free to click the link early and wait in the waiting room until your instructor arrives and starts the meeting.
