You will need to create a FREE Zoom account. There are 2 ways to attend classes:
- Watch from the Hoeden website: Sign in to your Hoeden account using CHROME web browser, navigate to your chosen ZOOM class at the scheduled time, type in your student’s HANDLE, and click “join.”
- Watch from the Zoom app: Sign in to your Hoeden account using any browser, navigate to your chosen ZOOM class at the scheduled time, click on the link under the video box, and make sure your display name is your student’s HANDLE once the video begins.
You do not have to enable your camera or your microphone unless you choose to.
If you choose to enable the camera, your video feed will be recorded as part of that lesson for the archives.
If you choose to enable your microphone, your audio feed will be recorded when unmuted as part of that lesson for the archives. To minimize distractions, please make sure your student is in a quiet, calm room and does not unmute themselves until the teacher has given them permission.
If you would like to test out Zoom features outside of class time, you can use Zoom’s Meeting Test at Zoom.us/test. This Meeting Test opens with the Zoom App.
Certificates are awards you print, fill out, and present to your student for completing classes or units within a class.
Hoeden originally required students to create a project and recite something relevant about their studies from memory to earn certificates. There are no longer ANY requirements at Hoeden. This allows parents to tailor their student’s education to fit their own homeschooling objectives.
While projects and recitations provide a great incentive to dive deeper into topics and practice researching skills Hoeden no longer requires these steps to earn a certificate.
All certificates are awarded by the parent when they see fit.
She is passionate about relaxed, positive homeschooling, foster parenting, adoption, and early college & trade-school options for ages 14+.
Her vision is to keep Hoeden honest in its depiction of homeschooling. Hoeden is not supposed to be glossy or refined. Modeling natural curiosity and study skills is the goal within this typical class style framework.
