Technology Tips

 

What happens if my teacher gets kicked out of her Zoom class?

If a teacher has technical issues and gets kicked out of their zoom class, the teacher will log back into zoom quickly from their cell phone and end the meeting for all students. When the teacher can reestablish a connection they will begin the meeting again.

Students should wait and periodically try to reconnect to class through StudentVUE. Students can also watch for an email or message in Google Classroom from the teacher indicating they have established a connection and starting the meeting again.
