Tech Coach Reflections: #GoogleHangout + Digital Citizenship Slides + Kahoot X 5 Kinder Classes = Transformative! #richlandtech

After giving a training on "How to Teacher Digital Citizenship" to Golden Oak Elementary Staff, I let the teachers know they could book me for teaching a lesson to their students.

So, 5 brave GO Kindergarten teachers booked me for a Digital Citizenship Lesson on a Thursday morning. I went to each of the teachers' classrooms and made sure they were ready to go. Brought up Chrome, hangouts.google.com/, made sure their camera, mic, and speakers were working. Did a test call and went to 4 more classes to do the same. It took about 50 minutes. Then, I went in a pod between 2 classes and started the Google Hangout Call-- expecting all the bats of technical difficulty to fly loose. But everything went smoothly!

I shared my screen, so all the teachers could see my slides and I gave a lesson about how to respect and protect online. Tried to show a video, but that didn't work, so I messaged the teachers the link to show later. After the presentation, we got 6 Kinder kids on devices and they joined our Kahoot Game and answered questions about how to be a good citizen online. The teachers and students did an AMAZING Job! After saying goodbye, I had to go back to each class for a "groupie" photo with them in person!
