The Weka teachers are having regular on-line meetings using Google Hangouts (it might work for your family too - very user friendly - https://hangouts.google.com/ - you need to set a time in advance, one person sets up meeting and sends out invites, and then all go online at specified time and join the meeting by selecting video and speech icons).
All the Wekas now have access to, and are starting to use, SeeSaw. Students can do complete tasks and upload them on to Seesaw. I then read, comment on and approve them so they go into their individual journals.
After talking to other Weka teachers, it has been decided that children's work in their journals should be private so only they can see it while we are doing Distance Learning. This will stop any comparisons between standards of work which some people might be uncomfortable with. I have changed SeeSaw settings this morning to allow for this - you will need to log in again with your student code after this update.
I will be asking parents to give permission for photos of their homes to go on our class blog. I anticipate sharing photos of activities such as baking, making things out of lego or craft junk around home, pets andart work but not actual school work that has been set. I think this will be good way to share our day's activities, it is a creative outlet and a healthy way to keep connected. In line with this thinking, I have deleted some of the photos on yesterday sharing posts.
Kind regards,
Mrs Bear
