French Immersion

During this time, the educator is visible and interacting with the entire class or smaller groups.  Students may be engaged in learning opportunities such as:

• Whole class instruction and discussion through Google Meet
• Whole group assessments, quizzes or tests that students work on while the teacher is visible and available to answer questions
• Whole group brainstorming using a Google Doc or other online application to share ideas
• The broadcast of a video or slides with the class with breaks for discussion and exploration
• Students working on tasks assigned by a teacher while the teacher meets with small groups separately or responds to questions using the Google Breakouts Extension
• Independent assignment time for students with teachers available and visible to answer questions and provide feedback
• Where appropriate: Circle time, read alouds, word games, show and tell activities, or hands-on activities while the teacher observes and participates

Please Note: RealTime learning activities will vary between grade levels from Kindergarten to Grade 12 and will be applied in an age and developmentally appropriate manner in the classroom. 

During this time, the teacher is available for questions or discussions, but may not be visible. Students may be engaged in learning opportunities such as:

• Videos and Slideshows
  Teacher-created or curated videos or slide-shows that students may watch independently. Students may complete a related activity. 
• Class Discussion
  Virtual discussion boards such as a question in Google Classroom, where students and educators are not required to be online at the same time. 
• Group Projects
  Students collaborating without needing to be working at the same time. Presentations or projects developed with shared tasks and use of comments and suggestions. 
• Independent Student Task Completion
  Applying learning from RealTime sessions to individual tasks such as online quizzes, games or other activities which are often submitted to the teacher for feedback.

Student passwords can be recovered if parents have registered email addresses at the time of student registration and verification (i.e. if the parent email contact is on file). To do so, go to http://student.ddsb.ca and click on "Password Reset" in the upper right corner. Choose "Recover Password" on the next screen and follow the prompts. More information and instructions can be found here.

If this does not work, contact your student's teacher and they can submit a password request through an IT Incident Report on behalf of your student. They will communicate with you once the password has been reset (and provide the new password).
