VAT 2.0 Teacher Guideline


Before Semester

– 教師會獲得一個 Google VTL 個人帳戶,以便使用 Google Drive 功能上載教學內容,此帳戶不受 Google Drive 容量限制。
(相關帳戶的電郵及密碼請與學校負責老師查詢)

  1. 上載課程描述和時間表(如有)
  2. 上載課堂筆記等教學內容
  3. 教師上傳基本教材後,我們會新成一個 Redeem Code 作為學生進入 WhatsApp 之後登記相應科目的方法,屆時教師須提供學生此 Redeem Code

(相應的上載資料夾可在「與我共用」Shared with me 中找到,建議新增至「已加星號專區」以便日後容易存取到)

– Teachers will receive a personal Google VTL account to upload teaching materials using Google Drive. This account is not subject to Google Drive storage limits.
(Please contact the school’s responsible teacher for the account’s email address and password.)

  1. Upload course descriptions and schedules (if applicable)
  2. Upload lecture notes and other teaching materials
  3. After teachers upload the basic teaching materials, we will create a new Redeem Code as a method for students to register for the corresponding subjects after logging into WhatsApp. Teachers will then need to provide this Redeem Code to students

(The corresponding uploaded folder can be found in “Shared with me”. It is recommended to add it to the “Starred” for easy access in the future.)

課堂中
During Lesson

– 教師只需使用個人電話或其他裝置錄製課堂錄音並放置於班房中較容易接收到老師聲音的位置例如班房中間的教師桌

– Teachers can simply use their personal phones or other devices to record classroom conversations and place them in a location in the classroom where the teacher’s voice can be easily heard
e.g. the teacher’s desk in the middle of the classroom

課堂
After Lesson

  1. 上載課堂錄音
  2. 上載課堂筆記等教學內容

播客功能
Podcast Feature

– 教師如需要播客功能, 請於上述Google Sheet 相關欄位勾選
