VOA Conecta for Google Meet

We know that dialogue and affection are fundamental in the learning process. How can we bring these interactions to the classroom when the whole world was forced to adapt the way we attend to the classes l? What can we do when the teacher-student relationship happens through a computer screen? How to know if the student is following, without having to interrupt the class by turning on his microphone? How to encourage him to interact in 'silence'?

This extension brings powerful elements from the classroom to the virtual environment:

– 🙋‍♂️ When a student has a question, he/she can raise his/her hand without interrupting the class.
– 😀😍🤣🤔🤯❓ Student can send an emoji to react to a section of the lesson.

More support to the teachers at distance learning:

– Find out how many and who are the students who are interacting at the Meeting.
– Submit the question "Are you following?"
– Create and submit a multiple choice question.
- Submit differente questions to the students and see them respond with emojis.
- Be in control of the ‘raise hand’ line, by ‘lowering hands’ of the students who have already attended.
– Block reactions whenever needed.
– Receive on-screen notifications when a participant raises their hand.
