Though we’ve completed a semester-and-a-half of online classes, most of us are still adjusting to the virtual classroom. The following should make it easier to log in to class, work with Zoom, and make the most of our at-home classrooms. Any additional suggestions you may have are very welcome and encouraged.

Logging in to ZOOM Meetings…
The meeting ID for our weekly class session is: 832 5321 3124

You can also join by clicking this LINK.

Remember that the four letter passcode is the shortened version of photography, in lowercase.

It is your responsibility to log in at the correct time. Please set a calendar reminder for yourself. (Zoom does not automatically do this.)

ZOOM Tips…
– Restarting your device and closing other applications greatly improves performance
– Headphones or earpieces limit background noise and help to maintain focus
– You can Unmute yourself by holding the Space Bar as you speak
– Please chime in during class by speaking up, raising your hand, or typing in the Chat window
– Virtual backgrounds are a nice way to clean your room

Class Etiquette…
– Find a “classroom-esque” spot, where you can focus for the full 3 hours and 20 minutes…
– …but be ready to move. We will get up and take pictures during class sessions
– Try to keep mics muted when you’re not speaking
– Try to keep cameras on during discussions
– Chime in, participate in conversations, make your voice heard
– Be ready for breakout rooms and group activities

Class Preparation…

– Make sure your camera is nearby, at the ready and fully charged
– Make sure you have enough storage available
– Check the Lab Sessions page before class for other required materials
– Always check out your peers’ photos…we will discuss and critique one another’s work nearly every week!
