One Odd Bunch on Google Meet

Whole Class Meet

This week, Week 3 of Distance Learning, was a time for us to experience using Google Meet so that we could extend our online learning from solitary to group sessions. The majority of us had not used Google Meet before, so the learning target for our initial 'meet' was Google Meet 101 - How to navigate our way around the screen, when to mute and when to talk. 

With the first 'meet' (for most of us) under our belt, we decided that we would try a whole class 'meet' this morning. I wasn't sure how many would turn up and was excited to see 21 familiar faces on the screen. With the mute button engaged, our chat screen became very busy with 'hi' and 'lol' having regular appearances :)  We played a scavenger hunt and shared our weekend plans - a mix of indoor and more outdoor activity, now that we're at Level 3. Some family pets made it onscreen too!


The 'meet' wrapped up with a very laggy 'happy birthday' for Aditha, who celebrated his 11th birthday last Monday.

Thanks for coming along, One Odd Bunch.  'See' you next week!
