Spend time learning how to use the identified tools effectively, including tutorials, help sections, or practice sessions.
Conduct tests of all technology tools to ensure they work correctly before the session, including audio, video, and screen sharing capabilities.
Gather and organize all digital materials and resources you will be using during the tutoring session, such as presentations, videos, and documents.
Inform students about the technology tools you will be using, including how to access them and any necessary pre-session preparations.
