 Webex Meetings

Our college has recently conducted an online workshop which was great and we had a wonderful time as a student-teacher how we should be mentally prepared in order to teach the kids and how to be responsible in troublesome situations were discussed during the session. The platform we used was CISCO WEBEX MEETING and for some of you might be knowing and some may not have any idea, it's for the second type of guys i am speaking about, in order to help you out i have shared the steps to organise a meeting, to be the host and keep working on it efficiently.
we have had a wonderful time on this platform with the students of 175 despite the audio and video was struggling with poor network and yet we managed it and learnt something interesting.

Cisco Webex Meetings makes hosting an online meeting easy. You can schedule a meeting in advance or start one right away. When it's time to meet, you can present and collaborate with your team as if you're in the same room.

      If you're happy with the audio and video settings that you chose for this meeting, you can save them for your next meeting.

    3. If you want added privacy or to limit possible distractions from your video, you can use a virtual background. Click Change background, and then choose to blur or replace your background.

    While in your meeting, click Record Record, and then Record to record right away. You and your participants see a red icon at the top right of your window when recording is in process.

    When the meeting ends, you can find your recording on the Recordings > My Recorded Meetings page of your Webex site. If you recorded in the cloud, when the meeting ends, you receive an email with the recording link. Depending on file size and bandwidth, it can take up to 24 hours to receive your recording.

EPC Activity 7

 Play is one of the most important ways in which children learn. It underpins formal learning later in childhood, but also enables the individual child to develop their self-worth. 

In fact the right to play is deemed so fundamental to children’s well being, that it is enshrined by the UN as a universal children’s right.

It strengthens powers of concentration, essential for a successful future in the classroom, and underpins everything from learning social interactions and norms, to the beginnings of scientific thinking.

Here, I have listed some of the activities that the child develop during the age of five.
