What's a LiveLesson Room?

All of your teachers here at Minnesota Connections Academy have a virtual classroom called a LiveLesson room. LL rooms are where we host LL Sessions. These are live classes - opportunities to learn from your teacher live and also to interact with other students.

The image above is what a LL room looks like.

But my LL room is also a great place to meet one on one. If you have a question, you can stop by my LiveLesson room (best to book a meeting here: jasweeney.youcanbook.me). Think of coming to my LL room like stopping by a teacher’s office in a traditional school.

My LiveLesson room is a great place to meet if you have questions because:

• We can use our microphones to speak with each other.
• I can share videos, documents, or assignments with you so that it is easier to communicate
• I can share my screen with you to show you how to do something on the computer
• You can share your screen if, say, we want to work on an assignment together

Frequently asked questions:

• Can other students see me?
  • Not unless you turn your webcam on. Teachers will let you know if there is an opportunity to turn your webcam on.
• Do I have to use my microphone?
  • If we are meeting one on one or in a small group, then yes, you should. During large group LL sessions, most of the time you will not be using your microphone (unless I ask you to).
• LiveLesson room scares me.
  • Nothing to be scared of! The LL room is the main way teachers interact with students. They’re like our virtual classrooms. I understand if you feel a bit intimidated coming to the large group LL sessions at first. If that is the case, book a meeting with me to stop by my LL room and I can give you a tour.
