Guidelines

When using Zoom, remember that this is an extension of the classroom and you should conduct yourself as you would in a classroom. This includes:

• Video conferencing from an environment that is quiet, safe and free from distractions (preferably not a bedroom)
• Be on time for your interactive session
• Be dressed appropriately for learning (no pyjamas, no swimwear)
• Remain attentive during sessions
• Interact patiently and respectfully with your teachers and peers
• Provide feedback to teachers about your experiences and any relevant suggestions
• You MUST NOT record each other's online interactions.
• Make sure you end the session as soon as the teacher indicates to do so.
