How do I transfer grades in Q? They will not “transfer” exactly. Yet, there is a seamless way to ensure that the child moves forward with their current grade to that next class.  Here are two tutorials to help you with that process.
1) Incoming Transfer Student’s Grades – LINK HERE
2) Weighting Categories and Assignments – LINK HERE
For future reference, these are located in the C&I Online Learning Resources website.

Epic! As your students move from teacher to teacher, please know that students can be moved easily from one teacher to another. This way kids will not lose out on their badges/progress. LINK HERE

LivingTree Give. This is real. In lieu of GoFundMe or other crowd-sourced money tools, this is district approved. They examine the cause and eventually, they will approve or deny your request. Not sure if we are ready to roll with this just yet. The emails may have gone out too early. More information to come. Hold tight.

Advertisements in YouTube. If you want to get rid of advertisements and all the suggested videos for the children when they watch a video, use the strategies in this video (LINK HERE) to see how you can do that easily.

Mote. As you leave feedback, your students may benefit from an audio recording instead of just text-rich feedback. Here is a free tool that may work for you. This works in Google Classroom, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. HEAD HERE to install the Chrome extension. Then, see how it works from the SITE. What about translations? Well, the kids can select that button on their end. See that image below.

Calendar. If this comes to you in email form, use the link below to connect with me on my calendar.  I am here to teach lessons with you or for you [CUSD employees that is].

Kindly,
Melissa Culver
