Prepare your Workstation

[ACTION] Prepare your Workstation [ESSENTIAL]

Running & participating in live virtual classes is hard work. We do a lot to prepare our workstations, create the Murals, and set up Teams. It’s really important to us that you don’t have a bad experience. Here are some things we have found helpful!

Having the Right Equipment

• A computer capable of running Mural
  • Connecting to MURAL best practices | MURAL Help Center 
• A device capable of running Microsoft Teams
  • It’s okay to join from a phone as long as we can see you.
• A device capable of running Minecraft for Education
• Multi-Monitors are recommended but not essential.

Install MS Teams

• Get MS Teams: Download Microsoft Teams 
  • For both Mac and Windows, it is recommended to install the app.
  • If you are joining from your phone, use the app from your app store.
  • Note: Mural does not work well enough from your phone.
• Microsoft Teams allows you to join from more than one device with the same login if that’s how you use multiple screens. When connecting a second device, make sure to “join with audio off” to avoid feedback.

Install Minecraft for Education

• Download Minecraft Education
  • It is available for Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone/iPad. For best results and ease of access, please use a device with a large screen and a mouse and keyboard.
