SCHOOL KIT @ HOME -
What's the Zoom?
WATCH: What's the Zoom?
TALK: Zoom/Google Meets or team video calls have become the norm for teachers, kids, parents - pretty much everyone across the different lock downs that we have had.
In this video you learn how to play a game that shows extreme close ups of different things, and you get points for guessing.
If you need more of a clue, the camera zooms out...but you lose points.
DO: Design your own game. Select a theme - animals, toys, things in the kitchen, what you'd find in your desk at school. Make your own version and share.
