Tips, Tricks, and Hacks

WeVideo: Wevideo has tutorial videos. Once you've registered using your Google WS/FCS account, go to your dashboard and hit the ? button in the upper right hand corner to access a variety of how-to videos.

YouTube Use: If you are going to use Youtube, please either embed the video so that students stay on your page or use a Safeshare.tv link. Shafeshare.tv will take the URL from your video of choice and generate a new link without ad content, the video sidebar, or auto-starting the next video. We cannot control the ads nor the choices of videos in the side bar on YouTube which are unique to each view, so please be cognizant of this!

Power School Learning Analytics: You can see the number of page views your PSL pages have gotten by going to Manage Class in the upper right hand corner and then choosing View Analytics. They may take some time to load.

Google Classroom: Here are instructions on how to manage Google classroom notifications. This will be helpful for ESL teachers co-teaching in core classrooms and getting way too many emails. Thanks to Diana Castano for the tips.

Class Dojo has its own Youtube Channel with directions for students and teachers. Check it out HERE.
