Exemplar Google Classroom Assignment: Thank you, Shane, for providing a great example of a clear and detailed Google Classroom assignment.
Inspired by Ms. Ross’s Distance Learning Doc, Ms. Whitted shared her Distance Learning Doc with us for you to use as an exemplar. This is an incredible model for how to keep your kiddos organized and to allow them to understand your expectations.
You can make use of your personal meeting room to get a link that you can always re-use. Here is a screencast!
You can make it so kids can only chat with you in your Zoom call. Click here for a Screencast.
Accessibility tip if you're doing a lot of screen sharing via Zoom - increase the size of your cursor! Instructional video here (even though for some reason you can't see it happen in real time on the video. We tested it and it works on zoom!)
Want to do a mini-lesson + independent work? Use Zoom+GoGuardian. Do your mini-lesson on Zoom, and then tell students that they have monitored independent work for the next 20-30 minutes. From there, you can be on GoGuardian, with chat enabled, and you can virtually check in on their work, give them feedback, and answer questions. You can even run your scenes and enforce tab limits to help with focus -- just disable any automatic scenes.
