Hangout Haven for Terrific Taskmates

The described online course, named "Hangout Haven for Terrific Taskmates," is a webinar-type session hosted by Dr. Kirsten. Students can meet and collaborate on projects in a virtual room, with Dr. Kirsten participating as well. The session is recorded, and unlike other webinars, Dr. Kirsten will have her webcam on, encouraging interpersonal interaction. Students can sign up through Dr. Kirsten's virtual office, with the session being free of charge. Unlike typical courses, the virtual doors open at the top of the hour, and students can choose to keep their webcams off. Parental permission is required for students to turn on their webcams, and parents are responsible for monitoring webcam use. Students can join these hangouts anytime during the school year, provided their parent signs a permission form.
