Technology expectations:

Volunteers must have a computer, stable internet connection, and the ability to use the following features of Zoom during your teaching: share screen, annotate, and chat. If, after the training, you are not fully comfortable with using these features, we invite you to wait until we’re back in person to continue volunteer-teaching.

Classes will be 90 minutes long instead of 1 hour, based on feedback from some students and volunteers.
