Top tips for video calls!

• Give the time of the call in all time zones
• Hold a practice call with the teachers to sort out technical problems
• Don’t use wireless (if possible)
• Have a clear plan for the call (but you can still be flexible!)
• Prepare your pupils in advance, eg how to behave and speak to the webcam + what call is about
• Exchange vocabulary in advance
• Give the pupils something to do for if the call drops
• After the call, ask the pupils to reflect on their learning
