Is there any difference between Google Meet and Classroom?

 

[Mashiane]

Google Meet and Classroom?

I think they complement each other. Im thinking of structuring the content there and also provide LSM with Classroom.

I think I read that Google merge Hangout and Classroom become Meet. I use Meet not long ago to communicate with ex-colleagues but not sure about Classroom. I also thought just to use Google Meet for my upcoming class.

 

[Mashiane]

Thanks for joining the class @aeric.

 

[Mashiane]

use Google Meet

Yes, for video conferencing and presenting this is the way to go. Besides, I took your advice. . The Classroom webapp does something else completely and I plan to record and upload to the Classroom workspace.

Just started posting assignments etc for class attendants to ensure are done before the meeting...

Good idea. I never thought of that. I created a Wordpress site instead and now I think it is not efficient.

 

[Mashiane]

Preparations for class done and dusted. Now we wait.

Just to remind yall again...

Designing the base layout with the Abstract Designer

YOU MIGHT NEED TO PRINT THESE OUT

If you are fortunate to have succeeded in setting up your IDE, you can start pacing yourself on the Abstract Designer material.

By the end of that study material, you will..

1. Be able to open the Abstract Designer, create VueElements, assign properties to them.
2. Generate members so that the elements are available via code
3. Use BANano.LoadLayout & BANano.LoadLayoutAppend to consolidate layouts.
4. Use BindVueElement to bind the element to the app so that events can be trapped.
5. Fire events e.g. button click.
6. Design a navigation bar, navigation title
7. Design a hamburger
8. Design a drawer
9. Design the app staging area.

Check it out now. Hopefully its easy to understand and detailed. If now, please just comment on each thread post.

Hi there gang, are we managing to get everything in the first task done. This is setting up your IDE and ensuring you are able to run the empty project.

This is indicated here... Please ensure you are able to get this done before the online class tomorrow. If you need help please indicate as we wont do this tomorrow.

 

[aeric]

Yes! I am ready.

Hey Mashiane:

I have no time right now to join the online class, but in some point I want to learn banano, so I will keep an eye on your posts and classrooms.

Thanks a lot for sharing

Hi @Mashiane
For today class, we are going to learn the following:

02. What is BVAD3

May I know why it would takes 6 hours so long?

 

[Mashiane]

Hi @aeric , the 6 hours is to cover as much work as possible and not only about item 02. I think the only item I set a timeline for was for the work that was due yesterday and nothing else. Whilst we will be taking breaks in-between, the class is intended for people to get as much groundwork done as much as possible. We expect questions to be asked, exercises to be done etc etc.

We will not directly jump into BVAD3 too, also because i'm not sure everyone has used BANano before so I need to get those basics and that foundation right for everyone to know that.

 

[aeric]

I understand that you are willing to spend the time and sacrifice your effort to teach us but I suggest to make the class as maximum of 2 hours in the future.
1 more hour to go for the class to start which is 3:00pm my local time. If I continue to follow the class until 9:00pm, I would miss my dinner time.
