Currently, we are still in person in Barnesville. However, we are limiting the number of people that actually come into the building. So with conferences this fall, we decided to go with virtual conferences through Zoom, and used Sign Up Genius to schedule them. This is a SUPER easy way for teachers (I actually created all of them) to create a "sign up" with time slots, and then parents can choose which time they want to have a virtual conference.
We created a shared Google Doc that we posted on our school website and Facebook pages so parents could find each individual teacher's sign up. They simple clicked the link and then picked the slot that worked for them.
Every teacher then posted his/her individual Zoom information in Schoology for parents to access when it was their time for a virtual conference. I have had THREE parents reach out to me on "how to " do this, so I feel like this might be a success;)!
We had thought about using Google Hangout, but not everyone has a Google account, so the scheduling part and everything else became something we didn't want to mess with. AND, since many churches and organizations in town have been using Sign Up Genius during Covid and other times, it just seemed to make sense!
If you had/have a great idea - I would LOVE to hear it - so far I have heard nothing regarding this other than how easy it was to track, sign up fo,r and use!
Happy Monday All - MEA week here so only two more days for us - Take care
Mrs. I:)
