#'''Norms & Suggestions'''
#'''Norms & Suggestions'''
#:<pre>
You may want to establish norms for each class regarding basic conduct during a video-conference. Suggestions for Norms....Location. Students should only video-conference from “public” parts of their homes. When students (or teachers) are video-conferencing from home, the rest of the class can see them, and what is going on behind them. It is therefore a good idea to suggest that students participate in a video-conference from public space in their home such as a kitchen, or dining room. Dress. Students should get dressed as they would for school before starting a video-conference. If we do not set norms for synchronous online class sessions, students are likely to “show up” in their pajamas or bathrobes. Establishing norms for dress may help students avoid embarrassment.

Dialogue. Video-conferences work well when one person is talking at a time; when many people are talking simultaneously, it becomes difficult to hear or understand anyone at all. We obviously want our students to participate fully in synchronous, online class sessions, but you may want to establish norms about how students should “raise their hands” before speaking. As a teacher is far less likely to see an actual raised hand in a video-conference, it may be helpful to ask students to type something into the shared chat if they would like to speak.
