Learn-From-Home Tools Galore – Week 28

CN Elementary Teaching Team:

Here are a few highlights from this week:

Week 28 (March 16 – March 20)

Thursday Giggles:                   What is a computer’s favorite snack?

                                                  Computer chips!!

Keep bein’ awesome. I still think you are the best ever.  Thank you for your wonderful emails and phone calls today.  Thank you for trusting me with your questions. 

Flipgrid. If you haven’t posted your Flipgrid video yet, feel free to do that (see email from Thursday). 

TROUBLESHOOTING. Here are some questions you have been asking:
 
What is the link for the CUSD website that helps students/parents? And how can students reset their passwords? That link is HERE. Students/parents can reset student passwords from the comfort of their home. Instructions are listed on that page. 

My colleague just posted an assignment to Google Classroom, how can I get a copy of that?  I designed a teaching video to tackle that very question check out this link here: VIDEO LINK.

We want to share a PDF with our students, but the original document is 40 pages long.  How do we only share pages 5, 7, 9, and 12?  HERE IS A VIDEO that tackles that very question.  I walk through the process of showing you how to shorten that original with only the pages you want intact.

How do I know if the website I have designed will work for parents? THIS VIDEO will show you how to use an Incognito Window.  You can use this to ensure that what you see on your end is what they will see on their end. 

How can my students upload their finished work to Google Classroom?  HERE IS A VIDEO that shows your students how to upload their work to Google Classroom.  These very steps are similar to how students would upload their work from a cellphone as well.  Parents can scan those finished pages via their home printer/scanner.  Then they can upload that entire PDF to you via Google Classroom.  No drop-off needed.

Clever Teacher Page. Without using Google Classroom, how can I share weblinks to my students easily?  Have you discovered the Clever Teacher Page? Well, to find out more, check out THIS VIDEO.

Team, I’ve got more videos to come.  Stay tuned.  I plan to upload two videos tomorrow: Clever with Multiple Users on One Device and How to Clear the Cache.

Keep bein’ awesome!!!

Stay curious,
