We are learning!
We know what your children need most right now in their education is to feel connected to each other, their school and their teachers. There are academic, social and wellbeing benefits for students in using video conferencing software to communicate and collaborate online with their class and teachers when they are learning from home.
So therefore, next week our teachers will start using ‘Zoom’ to video conference your children. This will allow class teachers to check in with students and also allow students to see their peers.
Zoom is the approved online platform from the NSW Department of Education. Please follow the instructions on the video below to learn how to help your child log into Zoom. Start this process at least 15 minutes prior, or the day before your child’s scheduled Zoom time so that we can help you troubleshoot if need be.
We also encourage you to check out the NSW Department of Education Digital Citizenship website (https://www.digitalcitizenship.nsw.edu.au/) and the eSafety Commissioner website (https://www.esafety.gov.au/) where there is helpful advice for Parents to help their children have safe, enjoyable experiences online.
Below is a timetable for next week when your child’s teachers will be online. If it is practical, we would love to see as many familiar faces as we possibly can!
