So, is it safe for parents to share user IDs and passwords via WhatsApp?

From WA's website:
https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28030015/

WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. Your messages are secured with locks, and only the recipient and you have the special keys needed to unlock and read your messages. For added protection, every message you send has an unique lock and key. All of this happens automatically: No need to turn on settings or set up special secret chats to secure your messages.

Important: End-to-end encryption is always activated. There's no way to turn off end-to-end encryption.

:thankyou:
Parents were sharing around them, I was not sure if it's safe. Thanks

MOE suspends use of Zoom in home-based learning... Gonna explore Google Meet as an option.

Our Moelc teacher is switching to Google Hangouts.

It is an easy Google app to include (on the Chrome browser for instance), But you need to First create a Google account... And, Hangouts has more restrictions (e.g. to test out functions, you need unique email addresses/ phone numbers). Certain functions are unavailable on the mobile app as well, so it becomes more necessary to use Hangouts on a laptop/ desktop. Though so, Hangouts does have entire screen share + application window share tools (same as Zoom); but I don't find a whiteboard (which Zoom provides)...

My P3's tuition centre uses Zoom, which I feel is fine since meetings are password protected; otherwise my other school kids have always been working on Google or Microsoft platforms, so are not impacted.

MOE suspends use of Zoom in home-based learning following breaches involving obscene images

Sigh :slapshead: Gonna explore Google Meet as an option.

If the group is small, the host can screen each attendee before allowing the person to join the meeting by using the waiting room feature (it is now on by default, but do check when you schedule a meeting).

If you know of students needing tutoring support during this HBL period, try:
https://covidtutoringsupport.weebly.com/

It is an initiative of a bunch of university students who are offering free help for secondary and JC students who do not have access to private tutoring or online tutoring.

[I am not involved in this at all. Just passing on the word.]

Very helpful! Thank you so much!! :goodpost:

google jamboard for the whiteboard

Hi, Google JamBoard works as well as the Zoom whiteboard feature - I can paste graphics, write, highlight, etcetera...

And, Google Hangouts' application window share works well; but, my entire screen share was jumpy, plus, I could not invite successfully using email addresses (Google accounts', so I generated a link & WhatsApp webbed instead). Hmmm... I think our teacher may get a bit of a headache getting ready for the next teleconference...
