Week of April 13 - 17



As updates are continually being made to the blog, please "REFRESH/reload" this page EVERY time you look at it to see current information/directions. 

As I am fielding questions from students through email, I might add new information or directions to previously posted work.  Thanks!



Hello 7-2 Students, Parents and Families!

I'm hosting another homeroom meeting online with students.  This meeting will be for us to check-in with one another and see if anyone has questions about any assignments from their teachers.  It will occur on Tuesday, April 14th at 11:00AM.

Our Google Meet code is 7-2ClassMeeting.  Below are the instructions to join.  This will also be sent by school messenger:
1. Go to meet.google.com close to the time of the scheduled meeting and log in using your username@educbe.ca email
2. Copy the nickname from the invite. 7-2ClassMeeting
3. Click on the green ‘Use a Meeting Code’ button.
4. Enter the nickname into the meeting code box and click Continue.
5. Once you click Continue, and if I am present, you will be taken to the waiting room.
6. The final step is to click on the green ‘Join now’ button to enter the meeting room. (if the teacher is not present in the room, the student will receive a messaging stating they cannot create meetings).
7. When our time is over you must leave the Meet session and close down your browser window.

Here are some protocols (rules) for having such meetings:
1. Choose a room where there will be little or no distractions.
2. Be careful to look around at what your classmates might see and ensure all is appropriate.
3. When you enter the Meeting Room, mute your mic (this will allow us to gather before we begin talking).
4. Open the comment tab so you can type questions and comments as we begin our conversation.

Just a reminder, the environment has been made safe; students have to log in with their CBE mail accounts and passwords.  There were a few glitches last this week, but we are all still learning.  Some students left the meeting and re-joined to fix the lag.  I just want each student and parent to be aware this is happening on Tuesday, April 14, so you know what you are up to!

Ms. I
