To our self isolating Year 4 and 5 families..
We all had our first ‘go’ at Microsoft Teams today and it went really well (especially once I had sorted my technology out!). Today was teaching the children the skills to log in, mute, unmute and use the chat (they definitely mastered the chat!). Thank you so much to the staff for their commitment to this.
As we use this tool more and more over the coming days please can we ask the following:
*children should always enter the meeting on mute
*children need to consider their background: ensure it doesn’t disclose any personal information about you as a family or an individual.
*please do not record or screen shot the meeting: it is a live meeting for the people who have permission to have access.
*please encourage your child to listen carefully to the direction given by the teacher during the meeting.
*ensure (now they know how to do it!) children use the chat function appropriately and not excessively as it can distract from the meeting content!
Thank you so much for your support as we grow confidence with remote learning at a challenging time for everyone.
