STEP ONE: Register and Login

On the NetTutor login page select "Register"

Fill in all the red fields. Note that the access code is entered for you. An email address is required. Click on "Register."

You will see a status page telling you that you                         registered successfully.
Click on "login now" and use your newly created user ID and password to log in.
The first time you log in you will see a license agreement. Read through it and scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on "I agree".

STEP TWO: Join the Live Tutorial

Once you log in you will enter the Live Classroom page. Click on "Check Audio" to make sure you can hear the bell that will ring when the tutor responds to your question. Find a tutor who is "In" and click on "Live Tutorial"

This window starts up the whiteboard.  It must always be open when the whiteboard is open.  Closing this window will close the whiteboard.  You can minimize this window if you need to switch to another screen.

When the whiteboard opens you will be able to watch the current tutoring session. You can watch or you can submit your question to the tutor.

You now have a live whiteboard that you can write on. Notice all the buttons along the left side of the board. Click on any button to select it and click to place it on the board. Most symbols can be stretched to the size you need, then click again to set the size. (Just remember Click, Click, Stretch, Click.)

Feel free to practice. No one else can see what you are writing. Under the heading "Edit" is an "Undo" feature that will remove the last item you put on the board. If you choose a symbol you don't want you can "clear" by right-clicking on the mouse. If you get stuck and nothing is working, right-click to clear. When you are ready click "Submit Your Question"

If the tutor is busy helping another person, you can watch the tutorial while you wait, or you can minimize the window and work in another program.  When the tutor responds to your question a bell will reing to alert you. 

Now you and the tutor are linked through the whiteboard. You can write on the board or in the chat line at the bottom of the screen. The tutor will immediately see what you write, and you will immediately see what the tutor writes. The tutor can answer any questions about how to use the board in addition to your math questions. The possibilities are practically limitless. When your tutor session is finished just close the window.
