Easily schedule class meetings with minimal notifications:

  1. Go to your Teams calendar

  2. Find any meeting instance of your class block. 
     
  3. Click the block and select Edit
     
  4. Add participants to the meeting (or the class group
    **see below**) and Send Update. If you are co-teaching/mentoring ensure your co-teacher is also     a presenter or co-organiser. 
     
  5. Select the meeting again and copy the meeting link. ❗️
    We recommend the Meeting Options below
     
  6. Post the meeting link into the Channel you use for communication with your class. You will use this link for all class meetings.

  1. Post instructions and outcomes in the
    appropriate channel once per week (at a minimum)
  2. Where relevant, include:
    - A title for the activity with dates
    - What is the intended outcome?
    - Where/how is it to be completed?
    - Where can resources be found?
    - When is it due?
  3. Make sure your post:

3. Mentor Instructions

 
Steps  

In your Mentor Class Group Chat

  1. Create a check-in opportunity (see example on right)
     
  2. Use the tag @everyone so each child gets a notification
     
  3. Use the response data to take attendance on MyTime
     
  4. If necessary, you can call individual students, but they must be recorded. Students are not to have their camera on for 1:1 calls
