Week of April 6 - 10

Meeting with Students of 7- 2 Tuesday, April 7

Hello 7-2 Students, I would like to have a whole class homeroom meeting online on Tuesday at 10:00am.  We are going to try out Google Meet/Hangout.  Our purpose for tomorrow is to just check in on everyone.  If you have something you can share about how you have been keeping busy while in self-isolation, that would be the first question I ask to you.  I will send an invite to everyone by Tuesday morning just before 9:45 am and if you follow the link, we should all be able to see and speak with one another.  However, if the link does not come to you, you can follow the instructions below: Here are some protocols (rules) for having such meetings: 1. Go to meet.google.com close to the time of the scheduled meeting and log in using their username@educbe.ca email  2. Copy the nickname from the invite. 72AwesomePossums 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.  Hope to see you all Tuesday! Ms. Ingram
