{{Big|Welcome to the new virtual classroom.}}

Begun during the COVID-19 pandemic, I still offer [[Contact#Office Hours|office hour appointments]] via Zoom. Zoom is a simple video conferencing application that you can use on your computer, tablet, or smart phone. It works very similarly to FaceTime or Skype, except it’s made for group meetings.

{{notice|You can now [https://calendly.com/grlucas/15min schedule a Zoom meeting] with me any time.}}

When joining your class, try to connect a few minutes early. Check to see that you camera and microphone are working; turn on your camera and mute your microphone. It’s a good habit to keep your microphone muted until you need to say something. The best way to learn how to use the software is by joining a meeting. Consider [https://www.gend.co/blog/best-practice-tips-for-using-zoom these tips], especially using video, trying a good headset, and being in a well-lit area for meetings.

Create your [https://zoom.us/signup account] and download the [https://zoom.us/download client for meetings] before the first scheduled class meeting.
