Hope that Helps

We have gotten some questions about shared classes in Khan Academy, and I agree that it would be so helpful to be able to have your partner teacher see student progress in Khan! But they only allow one teacher per class.   What? Yes, I put in a feature request for multiple teachers on a class, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Roy Says... Here are some options from Roy, the Khan Academy hero who did the training sessions before school "For co-teachers, we'd recommend one of two strategies, since Khan Academy can only assign one teacher per class. Option 1 The co-teacher (i.e. the teacher who's not listed first as the teacher of record) can manually create a new class and then add the students into that new class, similar to how teachers created and rostered classes before we had the district synced classes Option 2 The teacher of record can go into their Khan Academy settings, and change their password to one that they feel comfortable sharing with the co-teache...

Hi all! This is the email from Melanie (sent Friday 9.11 @11:15, if you are a gmail search user) I am removing specific password info because this is a public space, but check your collaborative google classroom if you can't find the email. Liz --------------  Hi Everyone,  Just wanted to give you a short guide on using Renaissance Place and giving STAR reading tests.  This year there have been changes in the layout of Renaissance Place. It looks different but it seems to be more intuitive and faster. Take a little time to look around and find what you are used to seeing.  Reports are still under each product's icon. All classes have been assigned AR and STAR reading, and I add STAR reading Spanish by request (put in a ticket if you need this.)  To get into Renaissance Place First make sure to use the link from your school webpages , or students can use the shortcut in clever . Other links googled from the web will not work .  Teachers  username: ...

Hi there!  Google Classroom is going to be such a helpful way to organize your communication and your assignments for students. Although I am not able to process and post videos right away, I hope the Google Slides of the TST presentations are helpful to you.   Mission Control (go to  the Blast Off page  of the site) is always ready for you with videos from the spring.  Recordings of my sessions, sure, but the good stuff is in the collab-o-ramas where you can hear how teachers use tools in the classroom.  The slides and videos are on the Mission Control page Last week we had two sessions. The first was designed for people brand new to Google Classroom to understand how it works in general, and the second session, we looked closely at Assignments, checking student work and giving feedback. Session 1 ( Google Slides ) and Session 2 ( Google Slides ) if you like the slides links, or you can flip through them below. If you want to know more about Google Cl...

Here we are!  The last TST of the summer season, and it's a fun one!  Flipgrid is such a great way to engage students in a fun way and get them talking.  Start with some "low cognitive load" tasks to play with the tools.  Prompts like "what is the best vegetable" a "would you rather" will get them playing.  As they learn the tools, give an academic prompt.  Flipgrid is great for vocabulary practice or other ELD skills, reading reflection, content questions that have open ended answers. Here are the slides for our TST today. ( Google Slides ) Want to try it out?  Use this link to our trial Flipgrid-- it's the one that I emailed participants. Open link by clicking here  or on an iPad, use join code 1bda5eec in the app. Sign in with your Google Account and give it a try!  I dare you! (Hueneme teachers only)

Howdy!  It seemed like such a cool idea to have a quick comparison of Google Meet and Zoom, and then I realized it is a lot to get my head around! There are so many possibilities and I don't have all the answers.  But I know, between us, we probably have plenty of good ideas and experiences.  So, here are the slides as a starting point. Feel free to leave your tips and other things that have been working for you in the comments below. Top image from Pixabay Slides template from Slidesmania.com Gifs in presentation from giphy
