Technology Requirements:
Student laptops on wifi are the best way to attend to class and assignments. Laptops are issued to every PCOA student and mailed to those outside of the immediate area.
If interested in using a personal computer for class, then you will need:
- Computer (not phone) running Chrome web browser, latest version. You will want to "sign in" to the browser with your student account (firstname.lastname@students.rsd.edu)
- Speakers and/or headphones to hear class content.
- Webcam and microphone for teachers to see and hear you.
