How to enter an online class

There are several ways to enter an online class:

The easiest for beginners is via an email invitation link. You will receive an invitation email via Google Calendar (if you use Google Calendar, you will also find the link directly in your Google calendar). In the invitation, you can click YES that you will attend the lesson and you will also find a link in it, which will take you directly to the online class.

The link to your online classroom comes with a passcode that you will need for entering the online room.

Depending on your default web browser, you may be prompted to open or download Zoom

You can also participate directly from the browser, but for more features and a better experience, we recommend downloading and installing ZOOM. It's like Skype with multiple online meeting options.
