What Are Needed For Our Math Online Lesson?
The setup requirements for our math online session are very simple. We made sure that the pieces of equipment needed to set you up for a successful online school session are nothing fancy. If the items are not yet available at home, they will be easily found in your local electronics store. We highly recommend that you set up your pieces of equipment in a learning space conducive to learning.
- An iPad or computer for collaborative writing and instruction.
The Learn ZOE platform runs well on a laptop, desktop, or iPad. You will not be required to download an app to use the platform. The platform is accessed through the web browser. Simply go to learnzoe.com and sign in to your account to launch your ZOE board. - A computer with a camera or a second iPad for audio and video.
This second device connects Learn ZOE instructors with its students through audio or video call. A fairly updated computer is recommended to make sure the call runs smoothly. The lessons are discussed in real-time. The audio or video call allows students to experience student-instructor dynamics similar to a face-to-face session. - A Skype account.
The live audio and video sessions will be delivered through Skype. As soon as your first Learn ZOE session is scheduled, you will be asked to share your Skype account to complete setting up the session. - Stylus for on-screen writing and problem solving (optional).
The ZOE board is a writing space to solve worksheets and math exercises. It runs best on a touch screen device. You may use your fingers or your stylus to write on an active ZOE board. - A headset with a mic for clear communication (optional).
Audio call and video calls run with or without a headset. While this device is optional, we recommend one for a better learning experience. A regular headset that is working properly makes a big difference during lesson discussions and collaborations.
When these things are completed, you can choose your online math program here at Learn ZOE. You have two options to choose from. Check the setup options below.

Introducing the Zoe Board
At ZOE, we use our proprietary platform to teach Math. The ZOE board is a collaborative board that replaces the traditional textbook with paper and pencil.
