How to teach remotely with a Google Slides Hyperdoc. In this week's education technology tutorial, veteran educator and edtech enthusiast Sam Kary shows teachers how to set up a lesson during virtual teaching.
Teachers are currently finding themselves in an unprecedented moment where many around the world are being asked to teach lessons remotely. Although it's important to learn about different education technology programs, it's equally as important to create self-contained independent studies that students can work on at their own pace.
