Why do you like OMO?
Faye - "I appreciate OMO for providing a place to feel connected - not just for the kids but the whole family. The news has been like a broken record on this point but we are living in unprecedented times - we are all making it up as we go. I love that OMO provides a space to find some normalcy, connection or even some well-needed laughter in what is otherwise a pretty scary time."
Levi, age 7- "You can learn new things while not even trying to self distance!!!"
Amelia, age 9- "All of the instructors are very nice and kind. And all of the subjects are very interesting."

Katie - "My child interacts with her community and has other people to engage with - some are teachers. That’s crucial right now. She picks the sessions that interest her, and that helps give her independence with her schedule. Both parents are working from home. We rely on OMO for normalcy and community."

Let’s Learn Together


How To Use OMO
1. Visit this site to see what classes are available each day.
A list of sessions will be posted to the Home page each week. Most classes are available to all ages, but some will be labeled Pre-K or Elementary (with Parents), Middle, High, or College/Adult depending on the topic.

Sessions are offered Monday-Thursday.

Visit the Sessions by Subject page to learn more about each topic and then visit each subject page to see Recordings of past sessions.

TIPS:
Many sessions will be recorded so that people can explore a variety of topics and watch sessions at their convenience. Recordings will be posted within a few days.

Any materials needed for a class will be listed in the class description.

2. Click on the Zoom Link
At the time your chosen session begins, click on the blue Zoom link in the class description. Zoom will automatically load to your device or open a webpage to allow you access to the meeting. You can choose to start with video or no video.

Waiting Room: to keep our group secure, we have a Waiting Room. Please provide your actual name or family last name. Once the presenter or moderator starts the meeting, they will admit you to the group. To start, the moderator will have everyone muted. Chat is available directly to the host and moderator if you have any questions. If you do not wish to be on video, we hope you'll still join in by audio to talk with the group. 
If you miss a class, watch the Recording! Recordings will be posted on the Recordings page or within the Sessions by Subject pages.
Note: OMO wants to make our videos accessible to everyone. We use Google's auto-captioning service to provide captions on our videos. If you experience problems with captions, please contact us with a description of the problem and the video affected. Please be as specific as possible so we can troubleshoot quickly.
