❖ Updated Chrome browser (specialized multisensory platform built for use with Chrome)

❖ ZOOM Video Conferencing downloaded ( www.zoom.us ). If using a tablet/ipad, download the Zoom app. When it’s time for a session, I’ll email the ZOOM room number, you’ll double click on the link in the email, and we’ll both connect.

Network Requirements

❖ Run a speed test at www.speedtest.net:

    ➢ Download/upload speed of at least 1.2 Mbps (2 – 2.6 Mbps is ideal)

    ➢ Minimum download/upload speed is 600kbps, but will be slower

❖ Limit use of the network by other devices during the online instruction session as much as possible ( other devices streaming content such as Netflix, Pandora, etc., will drastically reduce bandwidth required for online instruction ).
