- Use an ethernet cable if your wi-fi is unstable.
- Check for Zoom latest updates.

- the GREEN CHECKMARK to indicate you have completed a task/activity.
- the RAISE HAND to ask a question or contribute to discussions.
- the THUMBS UP to let your facilitator know you are ready to begin.
- Stay comfortable: change your seating height and location; move from one room to another; sit/stand at a counter.
