Student Guide for Distance Learning

Follow the guidelines below for a great video exchange with another classroom.

• Talk in a normal voice, not too loud or too soft. 
• Talk clearly; enunciate all of your words. 
• Practice what you want to say. 
• Pauses aren’t bad if there is a reason. 
• Wait for people to see your  picture or a chart that you are talking about. 
• Pretend the camera is a person. Look into the camera as though it is the person you are talking to. 
• Be careful of saying things on the sidelines, people can see you, and might be able to hear you. 
• Don’t interrupt; wait until the person has finished talking. 
• Use appropriate language; be careful of using slang. 
• Do not chew gum or eat candy. 
• Dress appropriately, school T-shirts or sweatshirts are good. 
• Have fun; sharing information with someone else is a great way to learn. 
• Be prepared; practice, practice, practice.
