Matt from the ASK Programme came into our school to live broadcast their session to all Year 11 forms. We used Google Meets (a programme on Gmail) to stream live into every classroom via the whiteboards. We wanted it to be live as we felt strongly that it would have more impact and also the person delivering it is the expert. After speaking to staff and students alike afterwards they all agreed it was really useful, especially at this early stage in the academic year and that it was useful to inform them of this as they’re all currently having their Career appointments.
