How to use our virtual classroom (Microsoft Teams):
We are using Microsoft Teams as our virtual classroom. You will need to have or create a Microsoft account to join our team. Microsoft accounts are free to make. You can find out more about Teams on Microsoft's support page.
You will be able to join our classes on any platform, including Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, Linux, etc. Although, some classes may require specific software which can not run everywhere. Please check the course descriptions on the Cyber Crunch website for specifics.
When you sign up, please provide us with any emails that you want to use for Teams, including both parent and student emails. We will add these emails to our Team. A confirmation will be emailed to you once you have been added to the Team.
After being added, you will be able to access the Cyber Crunch Team. You will only be able to access the Team using Microsoft accounts associated with emails you provide us. You can reach out to us if you would like to add or remove any emails/accounts from our Microsoft Team: info@cyberinjaz.com.
If you already have a Microsoft account and plan on using the same account for our classes, please remember to provide us with your Microsoft account's associated email.
How to join the virtual classes:
There are two ways to join a class.
- Before each class, students or parents should get an email with a link. Clicking on that link will take you to the Microsoft Teams meeting.
- Each course has a separate section in Microsoft Teams (for example "Intro to Programming"). Students can join an ongoing class directly. Go to the course's section. Find the ongoing meeting. Click the "join" button.
Classes may be recorded as well. If a student misses a class, they can check a course in Microsoft Teams and look for previously recorded meetings which they can then watch.
