Online Classroom system requirements for teachers
With the online classroom, teaching online has never been easier.
To get started, all you need is:
- Any desktop or laptop computer less than 5 years old
- An up to date web browser (We recommend Google Chrome)
- A fast, reliable internet connection
- A webcam
- A headset with a microphone, or an external microphone and speakers
That's it! You won't need to download any software or pay any fees.
Our most successful online teachers recommend:
- Connect to the internet with an Ethernet cable to ensure the fastest connection with the least lag, delay, or interruption. If you can't plug in a cable, get as close to your router as possible.
- Don't use a "hotspot" on a mobile device to connect to the internet. Likewise, connecting through a coffee shop or other public connection could cause poor service.
- Use a headset to eliminate background noise and feedback. You'll also be able to hear your students better!
