Thanks for sharing that, you've now given me a reason to put my camera on. I go on my phone during class as well sometimes now, and because everyone is home, the notifications don't stop rolling in.
Definitely gonna be having my camera on next week. (I should also lock my phone away as well)
Edit: Does anyone else feel like the day goes super quick? Weird.

YES!!! Its really scary
I have found that having my phone on silent and across the room is really helpful

the day doesn't go fast for teachers, that's for sure.
Maybe I feel added pressure since i'm the one helping to manage this entire experience at my school. We are using Microsoft Teams primarily. Can I just say that if your school is actually doing any sort of live / interactive things with you and/or your class, you should feel extremely lucky. Colleagues that i've spoken to at different schools - most are just putting lesson plans on portals and feeding their kids to the wolves. It is sad but look at it this way - it is such a good learning experience for uni.. that's for sure.
Also on the topic of teachers and interactivity - if your teacher is doing this, massive respect should go to them (if not already). To pull all this together in a few weeks is amazing. A lot of teachers at my school are older and to take technological risk like this is fantastic (often quite hard to do).
I did my own online learning classes - even though I teach junior school primarily its actually harder due to the fact we have to try and keep engagement up as well. There's no real consequence for lack of engagement.
I have plenty of stories but i'm sure you don't want to hear my dribble. Student experiences will probably sum it up nicely.

-The awkward moment when you all are trying to leave the zoom meeting at the end.

My supervisor was mocking the virtual backgrounds today 😅
Also the exiting of the zoom meeting was hella awkward this afternoon too (not on my end though) 😅
Also tips on how to stop parents (specifically my mum) from camera bombing would be nice pls & ty 😅 (the only place in the house with a blank wall or something that isn't my sister's side of our room or me sitting in bed is the dining table. Mum always wonders into the kitchen and then bombs me, despite me clearly telling her do not disturb between blah and blah times 😅)
On the otherhand, my grade 3 brother has determined that it's all too stressful to do his set tasks at home, and refuses to do them-which isn't ideal in this situation 😅 I'm hoping that Google Classroom will help him out next week 😅

My sisters who are in Prep and Grade 1 are the same! They absolutely refuse to do it and my parents can't help them all the time because they are teaching classes online. and then when they do go to help them with their work they throw tantrums hahah
