Remote Learning Rules:
  1. Please have your microphone off and your video on. I must be able to see you at all times.
  2. Bathroom breaks are only during passing periods. ONLY in an emergency will this be acceptable.
  3. Please do not eat while in Google Meet. We are not allowed, so neither should you be.
  4. Remember that you are on camera and live. I can see what you are wearing and your facial expression and some students can, too. Find a quiet place in your house and make it your school place. Dress appropriately, following school dress codes (no pajamas please!!).
  5. You are not anonymous. Be mindful of your expressions, speaking tones, and what you say. Your voice and video are viewed by everyone participating in the conference. Other people in your house can hear what you and others in the video conference are saying. Please be respectful.
  6. Follow the same classroom rules that you would follow in real life. Listen to me when I am teaching and take turns to speak. Be kind and considerate.
  7. Think before you speak. Stay on topic. Make sure your comments are clear and appropriate to the conversation. Don’t say anything you wouldn't say in the actual classroom.
  8. Be a good listener. Take the time to listen to what people are saying. Don’t interrupt others.
  9. Think before you type. If I enable the Chat feature you may be able to participate by typing into a chat box. Choose your words carefully. Use appropriate spelling and grammar. Stay on topic. Don’t use sarcasm or humor that could be misunderstood. Don’t type in all caps.
  10. Take it slow. Remote learning is probably a new experience for you. Resist the impulse to be silly or to say or type the first thing that comes into your mind.
  11. Video conferencing is a privilege. If you cannot use it responsibly your access to school managed video conferencing tools will be removed.
