YouTube Timer Trick

Thanks to Kristy McCoy, Heritage HS's DLC, for this little gem!

Did you know you can have a floating timer with a simple YouTube trick? Find the timer you’d like to use, then double right click on the video. Select "Picture in picture". Now, you'll have a timer playing in a floating window that's always on top, even when you switch tabs!

Collaboration Corner

AP Art History Digital Breakout

Jacie Moore and I collaborated on creating a digital breakout review for her AP Art History students to complete this week. We originally created it a couple of years ago and we checked it recently to make sure all of the links still work and content is correct.

If you have a previously created lesson that you're reusing, don't forget to reach out to check everything before putting it in the hands of students!

Reset a Canvas Course

If you do not use a Blueprint and edit directly in your S1 course, check your S2 course to see if it contains content before importing S1 into it (if you selected that option for the semester switch). If it contains content, go to Settings --> Reset Course Content. Once the S2 course is cleared out, you can copy over S1 content.
