Did You Know…

Zoom provides a feature for meeting hosts (your teacher) to track meeting participant attention and attendance. The meeting host can see an indicator in the participant panel if an attendee does not have Zoom in focus for more than 30 seconds.

The “clock” icon appears to the left of meeting

participant name if they don’t have Zoom in

focus for more than 30 seconds during

the Zoom meeting.

(Only the host is on-task in this example!)

Work in a professional environment. If you wouldn’t eat it in the middle of a lesson in the classroom, don’t eat it during online instruction. Keep your face clear and focus on your learning.

Work in a professional environment. Avoid distracting backgrounds (like being inside a car) so your fellow classmates aren’t distracted and can focus on their learning.

Online Learning and Conferencing

Work in a professional environment. Unlike a group selfie, we don’t bring our friends and family to school everyday. In order to protect the learning of all scholars, save socializing for after online learning.
