Nutrition Hangout

Royal Vale’s Grade 5 healthy eaters were the first students to participate in a Google hangout pilot study organized by EMSB dietician Pamela Yiptong. Following a class discussion on nutrition, the students of Nathalie Malhamé and Aaron Prosser had prepared and e-mailed some questions to Ms. Yiptong, who then set up the session for the students with her stagiaire. Across the screen, the students were able to discuss their questions with Ms. Anna and to gain a deeper understanding of different nutrition concepts in an interactive and engaging manner. While her stagiaire, spoke to the students from the office at the board, Ms. Yiptong monitored the discussion from the teachers' classes to ensure the session ran smoothly free of any technical glitches.
