Generation Genius is very easy to use. Simply search a topic, click play and use the supplemental material that is right under the video, one click away. Some teachers only show the videos to supplement their curriculum and others use everything (lesson plans, reading material, quizzes, discussion questions, activities, vocabulary, teacher guides, exit tickets, etc.). It is most common for teachers to pick and choose the tools they need.

Order of Videos and Lessons:
The videos are self-contained and do not rely on the information presented in other videos, so there is no specified order. Typically the curriculum you use sets the order/pace and teachers supplement their units with GG lessons. The beginning of the GG videos often include a background review of the topic, such as when learning about the causes of seasons, the video will first review Earth's orbit and rotation.

Classroom vs School Account
Classroom vs School Account
A classroom account is for access on 1 device at a time, such as a computer, tablet or phone. That is ideal for one teacher who can use it in front of the class. It also includes ability to send out student links that can be accessed by up to 35 students. Students clicking the student link do not need to login and do not need an account. A school account gives all teachers and all students access on an unlimited number of devices.
