A few teachers asked me about a way to set up a fake student account in their Google Classroom, so they could log in as that student and troubleshoot from the teacher account as well as see from a student perspective. Here is how you can do that.
While in Google Classroom, click on "people" and invite student with this info. To see Google Classroom from the student's perspective, just log into a Chromebook with the same username and password. username: [email protected] password: training01 Did you know that you can use Google Forms for:

Just add in your student's names to generate this wheel of names. Many of you use the roar bucks for choosing partners or for choosing classroom leaders. Here is another fun option. Fair Use and Teaching and LearningThis PDF is a great 2 page summary of what you can and cannot do with content you are using for instructional purposes under the terms of Fair Use: http://www.halldavidson.net/copyright_chart.pdf
The Flow Chart below from Lisa Marie Jorgensen is a good tool to assess whether your intended use, or a student's, is valid under the provisions of Fair Use: All of this information comes from Matt Miller, Ditch That Textbook.
Create an infographic.Infographics are very brain-friendly. They create a powerful verbal/visual mix that helps encode information in students’ long-term memory. Plus, they can be fun to create! They can end up being these visually stimulating products of student learning … the kind that students want to share with others! I love pulling in icons from The Noun Project or Flat Icon to blend with short snippets of text — phrases or single sentences. Pro tip: To keep students from spending inordinate amounts of time searching for the perfect icon, share a Google Drawings template for them to use where you’ve provided lots of icons. I’ve done this in these “icon boards” templates. Make something of your own — or copy one of mine and assign it to your students! As mentioned earlier, end-of-semester final projects won’t include everything students have learned. Infographics force them to summarize, to be succinct, to curate and choose carefully.

Screencastify is a great tool for students to use. Screencast videos are an alternative to the traditional “talk in front of the class” presentations. Once students know how this tool works, grades 2 & 3 students can create and view them independently. Younger students can create videos with assistance.
Here are some ways to use this tool in your classroom:
This resource came from: https://ignitedlearningedu.weebly.com/blog/digital-tool-tidbit-classroom-screen Classroom Screen is an awesome toolbox to help teachers with one aspect of classroom management. It is a simple concept really. Here is a screenshot of a Classroom Screen I created: When you go to classroomscreen.com (and the site recommends using the Chrome browser), you are automatically brought onto your own Classroom Screen. There is no log-in or anything. The downside to this is that it won't save your screen from day to day, but the site maintains that it only takes about 30 seconds to setup your screen, and I would agree that it is SUPER fast and easy.
Let's look at the toolbox:
You wouldn't want to use all these tools at once on the screen, but with one click you can turn them on and off. If you turn something back on, during that sitting it WILL save your customizations. I turned off the text box with my morning directions and when I turned it back on, my text was still there! Once all of you get the hang of it, it could be a useful daily toolbox! |
