Technical Information

All schools in this district (Keewatin Patricia District School Board) have converted classrooms into a hybrid learning environment. As you will see in the picture, the camera is placed at the back ceiling of the classroom. This district uses this hybrid system and the SMART boards to connect to virtual sessions. This means that the microphones are not easily accessible, making it difficult to hear the students. Asking the teacher to relay students' comments is very helpful in this situation.
