What helps students in their learning?

Following the recent Student Voice Webinar which explored Voice in the Representative Space, (the report on this webinar is available on the MS Teams Student Voice Forum now) ACCS is delighted to host a follow-on webinar for schools which will focus on Learner Voice in the Classroom. This webinar is scheduled to take place on Thursday 9th December 2021 from 1pm - 3pm and will be facilitated by Gerard O’Sullivan (NCCA) and Ger Halbert along with Dr Domnall Fleming (UCC) and Áine O Sullivan (ACCS).

Schools are asked to nominate up to four students from across Junior and Senior Cycle to attend the webinar with one liaison teacher. 

Students and Teachers registering for the webinar should use the email address attached to the Zoom account they intend to access the webinar on. Please make sure your zoom client is up to date. Click on the link https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Upgrading-Zoom-to-the-latest-version or scan the attached QR code which will bring you to Zoom’s update information page. There you will find information on why you should keep your version of Zoom updated, information on new features, and links to download the latest version of Zoom for your device.

Note: To allow full engagement in the conversation and discussions within breakout rooms, we recommend that the students are registered on separate emails and can attend on separate devices. Of course, some students may wish to share a device and, in this case, they will be able to access the breakout room together on the same device. Where participants are registered on separate emails and on separate devices, to minimise feedback it would be best if each participant were in a separate location, however, that may not be possible, so we would ask that if using separate devices in the same room, then participants should use headphones and keep mics muted unless speaking. A handy tip for pc or mac users, is that the spacebar acts like a ‘push to talk’ button on a walkie talkie and will activate the mic for as long as the spacebar is depressed. 

Participants are requested to register on the link below by Tuesday 7th December at 4 pm so that breakout rooms can be populated before the event.
