— youtube sharing: copy the link to a youtube video and watch it together with your student
-presentations with complete lessons (Charlie Preschool and Charlie Starter available)
How to try the videochat with the student:
— If you used to have lessons in skype, then start a skype call with the student and explain, that you’re going to try a new cool classroom with interactive features
— Open your teacher’s dashboard, click on the lesson in the schedule and copy the videochat link
— Send this link to the student
— Ask him to disable the camera in skype and do this yourself
— Ask him to click on the link you have send and click on it too
— Explain to the student, that he has to click “yes” or “agree” when the system asks him to allow using the microphone and camera
— If the student succeeds entering the classroom – continue the lesson there
— If the student fails entering the classroom – come back to skype and continue the lesson there without wasting the time
— After the lesson click to “Finish” it in the schedule, choose “technical issues” and write a comment that you tried the videochat with the student but something went wrong; the task of the administrators would be to contact the student and help him to set all what is needed for using the classroom.
