Volume 3, Issue 3
What do I do in the event of an emergency closing?
As winter approaches, the chances for a school closing due to inclement weather increases. Just as with last year, students will be provided with synchronous (live) instruction while campus is closed. This will be accomplished through either the Google Meet or Zoom platforms. This issue of Technology Times is devoted to the preparation for those days. I will also refer back to this issue if/when school closes to provide everyone with helpful reminders.
This issue will cover:
- Where to find schedules for virtual learning days
- How to use Zoom on a Chromebook
- How to use Google Meet on a Chromebook
- How to use Zoom on an iPad
- How to use Google Meet an iPad
