Decorum for Live Classes:

• Like an in-person HLN classroom, our online classrooms are informed by traditional pedagogy. A knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject. Classrooms are quiet, orderly, and disciplined. Lessons are incremental, content is age-appropriate. 
• Log in several minutes early to ensure you are ready to start on time.
• Come ready to participate fully.
• Use your real name on the screen.
• Use an unmodified background.
• Be in dress code.
• Turn your video on so your teacher can see you.
• Raise your hand for permission to speak.
• Have your device on a flat service, preferably at eye level.
• Students’ full attention should be on the class and they should not communicate virtually during class on other devices with classmates or others (e.g. texting on a phone while in class on another device, or in another open window in the device).
• Be prepared with class materials and pens/pencils/highlighters before class.
• Take care of personal needs before class.
