This list will help you make sure you have key elements ready to go before class even starts.
- Remember that access to classrooms is highly scheduled/controlled. Consult with your building admin, the Registrar, or the building Covid Captain if you have questions about accessing a particular space.
- Show up at least 10-15 minutes (or as early as possible) before class starts. Expect the unexpected.
- Bring a back-up of any digital content you are presenting, either on a USB thumb drive, or save a copy in your Google drive or other cloud storage.
- Consider bringing a paper copy of any presentation notes you have prepared.
Clean: Follow posted signage about cleaning the classroom. If your classroom includes cleaning spray, do not spray liquid directly onto the touchscreen control panel, spray onto cleaning cloth instead.
Log on to the classroom computer OR hook up your laptop, and log into it (laptop connection instructions here)
TurnOFF the Wifi connection on your laptop - the classroom USB cable connection gives you a wired network connection which is more stable than a Wifi connection. You can turn your wifi back on again after your class.
