Virtual Training
CLASS Virtual Trainings are designed to be very interactive. You will need to be able to chat, comment, join breakout groups, and view video footage. Using a laptop or desktop computer throughout this training will allow you to fully engage in the training to support your learning and understanding of the CLASS.
Zoom Quick Guide
Some of Teachstone and CLASS trainings use Zoom as the virtual collaboration tool. Zoom is user friendly with capability to support our video conferencing needs. To prevent any security issues, please use the latest version of the desktop client or view the event on your browser. We use randomly generated meeting IDs, passwords, and a “waiting room” to keep the event secure.
- Ideal internet speed: 1.5Mbps or better
- Ideal to use a computer or tablet.
If you are new to Zoom Video Conferencing
The web browser client will download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting and is also available for manual download click here.
