Today was the first day that we had a Google Hangout/Meet with the children from rooms 21, 22, 23. I have to admit I was worried when we first discussed having a Google Hangout/Meet with year 3 children with limited device and who have never done this before.
In order to make sure children had all the information they needed before they joined the hangout.
I want to thank Danni Stone for helping me to make a video to show what it would be like to join the hangout and what would be expected.
Our hangout today started with welcoming each child and checking they could turn off and on their microphones.
Once they were all settled, we had 10 children join us today, we had our Karakia and Cayden lead our Mihi.
After this each child had a chance to share something they had been doing during lockdown. This was lovely. I liked hearing all the story and how the children had been staying fit.
After this we shared a bit about what today might look like. Screen sharing the site to help kids follow through what was expected.
After this we opened up to question and finished with a story by Miss Scanlan.
Thank you to all the children who were amazing. They all had plain backgrounds and used their mics well.
How have your hangout experiences been? I would love to hear from others school digitally bout how they are connecting.
Hi Clarelle and Danni, what a great idea to record a Hangouts video tutorial. Fantastic beginning of Term 2!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elena, I was well aware my year 3 had never done this before and wanted them to be able to see what would happen first.
