Instructor references, preparation & sources

Confirm the guest baseline, sample audio and permitted microphone/language-download route. Do not request personal disability disclosures. Check the local release notes before assigning the lab.

Change only the assigned guest. Record and restore original settings. Never remove another person’s accessibility setup. Do not change host, account, security or microphone privacy permissions. Report unavailable tools instead of bypassing restrictions. Use fictional text, never private speech or student records.

Locally interpreted Pearson objective 1.6; not a claim of complete certification preparation.

Documented configuration changes are an introductory connection, not compliance evidence.

Bell Ringer

Discuss the reason behind each choice.

Choose independently, then examine the explanation.

Can the student distinguish input from output?

Discussion

Use real controls and comparisons to explain effects and trade-offs.

Predict which need each tool addresses.

Can the student explain why without copying clicks?

VM tickets

Support scoped testing and alternatives for unavailable hardware.

Apply, test, capture and restore.

Does the evidence show an observed result or an honestly reported limitation?
