Guide to Zoom
Zoom is very easy for students to use for their online lessons. Here is a quick guide to using Zoom in your lessons.
Yes but you should discuss this with your teacher.
You can but you don’t need to. You can just join Zoom using your Internet browser. It’s not necessary to install anything to use Zoom.
No. You can also join a lesson from your phone or tablet. Capital advises you to use a laptop or computer for online lessons because it is the best option but tablets and phones are usable as well.
Yes. Zoom doesn’t cost anything to use for students.
Go to the Capital Online page and look for your teacher’s profile a few minutes before your lesson. Click on JOIN MY ONLINE CLASS! to join your class. If it is the first time you are using Zoom, your computer will need to do a quick background download. You will then be able to join the lesson and see your teacher and other students if you study in a group.
Zoom lessons are shorter than the usual school lessons because sitting for a long time in front of a computer is bad for our eyes and bodies. Our Zoom lessons are usually 60 minutes followed by a 15-minute break.
Zoom is meeting software which lets you join a virtual classroom with your teacher. In a Zoom classroom, you will be able to see and hear your teacher and do different kinds of interesting and fun learning activities.
Zoom works on Windows, Macs and Linux systems.
