For some of our student Chromebooks they are struggling with Zoom audio and video reliability. This is an issue that Zoom is aware of and working on a long-term solution for schools using Chromebooks. There are some recommendations teachers can use when using Zoom if they should experience problems. It is the combination of audio and video that is the struggle.
For students:

Shutdown (power button) and restart your Chromebook every morning

Ensure you have a strong WIFI signal on Chromebook.

Ensure your computer is fully charged and plugged into a power outlet

Ensure the computer is positioned to provide proper ventilation to avoid CPU over heating

Close all unused/non-active browser tabs in your browser

Turn off your camera in Zoom

Ensure your full name is displayed in Zoom

Mute your microphone in Zoom, use microphone only when speaking

Use the Zoom chat feature

Use the Speaker View only, not the Gallery View in Zoom

Smartphones and social media can overwhelm the human limits of a young mind: the ability to focus, to delay gratification, to form identity, form meaningful relationships, and to maintain mental health. We highly recommend that communities delay the introduction and use of smartphones/social media in young people's lives. Please also remember that you can delete problematic apps altogether.

The Wait Until 8th pledge is an effective way for parents to stave off smartphone peer pressure by rallying together, classroom by classroom, to delay giving children a smartphone until at least 8th grade.

Gabb Wireless is a wireless network and phone provider that offers a first phone for kids that includes unlimited talk and text, with a camera, calendar, FM radio and so forth...but no Internet, games, social media, app store, picture messages or group texts.
