CCS Etiquette when Conferencing with ZOOM
Etiquette is the customary code of polite behaviour in society or among members of a particular profession or group of people. Therefore, at CCS we are setting some expected behaviours or etiquette, that will apply when students are participating in a ZOOM Conference.
When you are in a ZOOM conference your teacher can easily see who is in attendance AND everything else in the background of your house.
When in a ZOOM Conference
- Be polite and respectful
- Do not make any inappropriate comments
- Use the Meeting ID and password supplied by your teacher
- Sit at a table (not on your bed!) and be ready to take notes!
- Sit in a well-lit and quiet place
- Set up an appropriate space when connecting to your meeting
- Do not ZOOM from your bedroom!
- Sit somewhere with a nice background and be careful what people can see in the background
- Enable video and audio
- Wear headphones with a microphone
- Mute audio when not speaking to reduce feedback noise
- Turn off your audio until requested to turn it on
- Be careful of 'ZOOM bombers' (that includes your little brother or older sister, and yes, your parents AND PETS!)
- Ask questions using the group chat
- Keep the chat questions on the lesson topic
- Read carefully what you've typed before sending your message in chat
- Keep the topic of the ZOOM Conference on school work
- Use the raise your hand feature if wanting to ask a question
- Dress appropriately! No pyjamas
- DO NOT give the ZOOM codes/information to anyone who is not in your grade/stage/class or does not attend at our school. This is vital to keeping the meeting space safe.
- No swearing, no teasing, no being mean. It's all about being RESPECTFUL. If it isn't tolerated at school it isn't tolerated online.
- Be active - Ask questions, participate in discussion, give feedback and respond to your teacher.
