2. Before we begin, let’s introducing… your virtual classroom
Let me give you a quick tour of our virtual classroom so you may know how to simply get started and interact! You ALWAYS want to include these slides in all of your lessons to assure your students are comfortable in the classroom before you begin. Have them introduce themselves to each other!
Pay attention, there will be a quiz at the end!

Although my name is Ms. Suzanne Ensmann, you probably see me in the Participant window as “moderator”.
So, do you see my moderator mic glowing now and do you see my moderator name in the Audio window?
Raise your hand if so.

Encourage students to get to know each other too! Start forming those relationships NOW… THAT’s what supports persistence, completions… SUCCESS in your class!
So, remember, this session may be recorded and others can read your messages, so please remember to write and say only what you would want the president or your grandmother to be reading and seeing.

Let’s review. Select an Emoticon for me!
Now, select a letter as if you were answering a question on a quiz.
Don’t hesitate to RAISE YOUR HAND and ask questions in the chat box and adjust your volume as needed throughout all your Elluminate lessons now! Remember, RAISE YOUR HAND.
