Welcome

Hello Students,

I hope you are all safe and doing well during these extraordinary circumstances.  Many of you have been reaching out on Canvas and I appreciate hearing about your situations.  We will be starting our "class" on Monday, 3/30/2020 via a Zoom meeting. 

So here’s how this will work on Monday.  We will be doing a Zoom meeting at 9:00 am.  I will send you a link in Canvas or via the Remind app Monday morning.  It really is quite simple.  Just click on the link!

• If you are joining from your desktop or laptop computer it will take you directly to the meeting.  You may need to click on “Open Zoom.” 
• If you are joining from your phone or iPad it will most likely ask you to download the Zoom app (if you don’t already have it downloaded) and then it will connect you to the meeting. 

If you join before the host does (that’s me) you will see a dialog box saying “Waiting for the Host to Start this Meeting.” Just wait until I’m on and then it’s pretty self-explanatory after that.   I will go over the basics of using Zoom and Canvas.

If you would like to read and watch some video tutorials before our meeting, check out the Resources & Guides for Online Students in our Canvas page.
