Below is the meeting invitation for Friday’s remote chess lessons. To join the meeting, click on the link below following the “Join Zoom Meeting”. You can connect by laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Please use a webcam setup so I can see the students. You’ll probably want to arrive a few minutes early and test your microphone and camera.
Kindly remind students to hold questions and comments during my lesson until I open the floor for discussion. Allow one student to finish their thoughts before jumping in. This will reduce interruptions and maintain the integrity of the chess session.
It is good practice to mute your microphone until you talk to reduce background noise. Press the space bar to talk and release to re-mute when your conversation is finished. Think of it as a “push to talk” button.
Parents, we appreciate your help getting your student successfully connected with this technology in our online lessons. We request that no extras (relatives, observers, or remote computers) participate in the session.
