This guide has everything you need to know to support students who are learning online. Jump to one of the following tutorials if needed:
You can schedule sessions to share links or guide browsing. Click on Highlights > Schedule > Schedule a session.
Remember to modify any scheduled sessions when your schedule changes.
If a student is with you who was in a Guided Session with another teacher, you will see an icon next to their name. If you click on that icon, you will have the option to release the student from that Guided Session.
This could also be helpful if you are running a Guided Session while students are taking a test. When each of them finishes, you can release them individually as they finish.
You will also see a message at the top of the screen to "Release all" students who are in a Guided Session.
