Before you start: Nothing.
Students see their own home page and their own view of the Classroom. The easiest way to see exactly what a student sees is to log in as your student.

Joining a live lesson
When students log in, they see their student home page. The Join Lesson button is active when they're enrolled in a live lesson, and they select it to join you in the Classroom.
If your video conferencing is linked to your Off2Class profile, students select Start Video in the Classroom Chat at the bottom left to join the video call.
In the Classroom
Students follow along as you move through the slides. Students select a gap and type their answer. Gap-fills are on by default. To turn them off, right-click the slide and select Disable Editing Gap-Fills.
Students highlight a word or phrase and right-click it to open the Scaffolding Menu. In a live lesson, the menu offers Audio and Google Translate. These scaffolds appear only on the screen of the student who requested them. Image search in a live lesson is run by the teacher, and the results open in a new tab on students' screens. The link also appears in the Classroom Chat, and students close the tab to get back to the lesson. When students review lesson slides on their own, they can run the image search themselves.
Outside of class
Students can log in at any time to complete Unit Checks, Independent Practice (Homework) and Placement Tests, and to review past lessons. Their home page has three tabs.
