During the class introduction

Sticky Notes and Reactions

Throughout the workshop, we will use sticky notes and Zoom reactions to indicate status. These help instructors and helpers in the workshop assist with various issues and provide formative feedback during the workshops.

Please make sure the sticky note is visibly on both the front and back of your laptop

  • Yellow Sticky Note / Green Check Reaction: All good to go
  • Red Sticky Note / Red "X" Reaction: I need help or I am not ready to continue
How to use Zoom Reactions

  1. In the menu bar at the bottom of the Zoom window, click on React.

  2. In the pop up panel, select the appropriate reaction.
