Kia Ora everyone,
I was thinking about my role as a form teacher (and my col role as a within- school-lead) and I was wondering how to maintain meaningful relationships during lockdown. I have created a document with some ideas for how we can maintain meaningful relationships with our form classes during lockdown. You may try just one idea and that’s great. (I would love to hear from you if you have some other ideas.) Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sTSmpLR-_6hRPKy36AnzKnJwnxCSGaUbLdWxbVChhHI/edit?usp=sharing (Let me know if there are issues with any of the links.) It’s nearly Friday -hooray! Pat yourself on the back for dealing to another strange week in lockdown. Noho ora mai (stay well), Lucy Thanks Carol!
I have suggested this one to a few students which does the same sort of thing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readwrite-for-google-chro/inoeonmfapjbbkmdafoankkfajkcphgd Cheers Kirsten Hi Team,
I have sent this to Julie M but thought others might find it helpful too if they have students who need work read aloud... https://techstartups.com/2020/01/29/make-google-docs-read-documents-loud-using-google-chrome-vox-extension/ Best, Carol Wright Hi Kirsten, Thanks for your email with PD Snack. Yes there are so many information out there and I can’t count how many youtube videos I watched in x1.5 speed so far! However there were some stood out from U.S. , by John W Swash, as they have been doing remote learning for a while. He focuses on using Google Classroom + others in G-suite rather than Zoom or others apps which is nice.

G Suite Update: Hangouts Meet improvements for remote learning
Hangouts Meet improvements for remote learning What’s changing We recently extended Hangouts Meet premium features to all G Suite customers through July 1, 2020 to support employees, educators, and students as they move to work and learn remotely. To improve the remote learning experience for teachers and students using Hangouts Meet, we’re making several improvements:
Why it’s important We hope these added controls and improvements will enhance Hangouts Meet for our Education users. Additional detailsImproved meeting control features: 'mute' and 'remove' For our Education customers, only the meeting creator, Calendar event owner, or person who creates a meeting on an in-room hardware device will be allowed to mute or remove other participants in a meeting. This ensures a teacher, as a meeting creator or Calendar event owner, can't be removed or muted by students participating in the event. Check out our Help Center to learn how to assign meeting creation privileges to teachers and staff members. We recommend that you assign these privileges to the organizational units (OUs) that contain your faculty and staff members. Improved teacher controls for nicknamed meetings Participants will not be able to re-join a meeting after the final participant has left if:
This means if the teacher is the last person to leave these types of meetings, students cannot join later without the teacher. We’ve also heard from some admins that they don’t want students to be able to create meetings. To do so, use this Help Center article to assign meeting creation privileges to teachers and staff only. Additional resources for getting started with Hangouts Meet Visit our Help Center to learn more about using Meet with low bandwidth and tips for training teachers and students.

This is really useful – especially to help you do what Sheela has just suggested.
Another good tip.
