Thanks to everyone for joining Kevin and I this morning in Hangouts Meet. This is really cool stuff that we are exploring and we are excited to learn something new. We hope we were able to clarify some details and help you out with future planning. If you have any questions, please do not hesisitate to ask either one of us for assistance.
After speaking with Joe Reid and Dr. Zito this morning we will be exploring Hangouts Meet slowly. This app is open for all staff to use at their own conveinence. We will be opening it shortly to students. This is not something that I need you to rush to attempt, but it is something that I am hoping you can explore at your own pace. Many schools are using this platform for virtual classrooms and at some point we may need to expand our own platform. I have shared the slideshow with everyone as well.
Mr. Reid will be sending out a screencastify on how to create a Hangout Meet without using the calendar. Currently we do not have the calendar open to students, so he has several suggestions that will work - Google Classroom appears to be the easiest format. If this is something that we are going to explore, we will have to come up with some guidelines at some point to ensure we are all consistent and understand all of the nuances with this app. We know you can do this, and we are looking forward to giving it a shot.
Kevin is currently working on a spreadsheet for all and that will be shared shortly. This should help us all in the long run. Specials should be working on their spreadsheet and that will be shared when it is completed.
Just a reminder that if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact both Kevin and I.
Report Cards Should Be Open. Please start posting when you are ready
Something New!
- Please be mindful of posting items on social media during school hours.
- If you are in desperate need of any items within your classroom I can help. Please call me and I will let you know the times that I plan on being at school. This would be a pit stop like adventure.
- We are continuting to talk about Read 180 / System 44. Will keep everyone in the loop.
