Virtual Learning Walks - Structure

Learning Walks and other consultations often occur virtually due to the geographic realities of KPBSD. Using cell phones is the most maneuverable method for Virtual Learning Walks. In turn, these events are BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). You are welcome to use a school iPad, if a cell phone is not an option. A chrome book or laptop can be used as a last resort.

App

The connection app Ed Elements uses is Zoom. It is available for free for both iPhone and Android. This app must be installed on the device that will be used. If it is a KPBSD device, please email or call the IT Department in advance to have it installed. You will need the borough # of the device.   

Tech Point Person

This is a member of the PL team who is responsible for having a device prepped for the Learning Walk. Duties consist of:
  1. selecting a device
  2. downloading the app
  3. testing the connection
  4. connecting just prior to the event with the Connecting Participant
  5. disconnecting after the event. 

Connecting
The link to connect to the Zoom virtual meeting will be located on the PL Calendar. You do NOT need to login to Zoom, you only need to click the link to be connected.

KPBSD Information Services supports wifi connection for personal devices on district sites. If you are unable to connect to the school wifi, please call IT at 714-8878.
