Guided Expectations

No Guided Ghosts!

Remember that the expectation in guided is that you are fully participating and active in the guided lesson! If you have your camera off and are not responsive in the chat, Wayground, or on your mic, you will be moved to the Waiting Room and your caretaker will be contacted. "Guided ghosts" will be expected to complete the lesson on Edio so you don't miss out on all materials!

There are 2 ways to get your name on the prize wheel:
1. Participate in Guided (in chat, in Wayground, games, etc)
2. If you complete the lesson on Edio, complete all questions fully (no periods, IDKs or blanks).
