Teacher device

  • Laptop or Chromebook with a modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended).
  • Stable power — keep the teacher laptop plugged in during class.
  • Microphone ready: built-in, USB, clip-on, or Bluetooth (pair before class).

Student devices

  • Phones, tablets, or Chromebooks with a browser — no app install required.
  • Headphones help students hear their language without distracting neighbors.
  • Students only need the join page URL and the session code.

Network

  • Prefer school Wi‑Fi with enough capacity for every student phone.
  • Avoid captive portals that interrupt the session mid-class.
  • If the network is congested, prioritize the teacher device on a wired or staff SSID when possible.

Front of room (optional)

  • Project or write the join link and six-character session code so students can enter it quickly.
  • Students follow on their own phones or laptops — a room display is not required.
  • If you project anything, keep the code large enough to read from the back of the room.

Before the bell

  1. Sign in and start the session early; write the join code on the board.
  2. Ask students to join and confirm they see “waiting” or live captions.
  3. Do a 10-second mic check — speak a sentence and verify one student language.
  4. Keep Teacher Guide handy for the live workflow.
