Getting ready for school was hard enough, now students need to prepare for classes at home. It’s tempting to wear those PJs all day and keep your video off, but here are a few tips to look sharp as you learn over Zoom.

• Appearance

  Share

  Get ready as if you were actually going to class. Brush your hair, shower, and wear something that will look nice on camera (Skip the hoodie).

• Lighting

  Share

  Even lighting is essential for video calls. You don't want to have half your face shaded out or so bright no one can see you.

• Sound

  Share

  If your class involves a lot of discussions, make sure you have a working mic. This could be the one built into your computer/ headphones or a mic purchased separately.
• Background

  Share

  Use a clear solid colored background to avoid distraction. Keep it plain and simple.
