Posted on March 31, 2020April 4, 2020 by Alice Keeler

How do you take attendance for remote learning? Lots of ways. One way for Google Classroom is to use the ask a question feature. I can easily from Classroom see a count of how many have submitted. But Google Forms is probably a better choice so you can use the same Form everyday and have…

The GENIUS of Drive Linking in Google Classroom

Posted on March 31, 2020May 11, 2021 by Alice Keeler

A tough paradigm shift when you use Google Classroom is understanding that there are NO ATTACHMENTS. There are only links from Google Drive. If you upload something to Classroom, look more carefully, it actually says you are uploading to Google Drive. Classroom automatically organizes files in Google Drive. One Place to Find Things What this…

Yes, Your Google Classroom Banner Dims

Posted on March 31, 2020July 7, 2021 by Alice Keeler

If you upload your own photo to Google Classroom it darkens. No one likes this. It is not your imagination, you are not doing something wrong. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS! Apparently it has something to do with the rules for material design. What I really want is to choose my own…

Channels are the best part of Microsoft Teams

Channels are the BEST PART of Microsoft Teams

Posted on March 29, 2020May 11, 2021 by Alice Keeler

I love digital tools because they allow me options to INTERACT better with my students. It is tough to have a conversation with every kid in a face to face class. Do the math, 40 kids in a 50 minute class period doesn’t really lend to a whole lot of personal attention for every student….

Private Comments are the Best Part of Google Classroom

Private Comments are the BEST Part of Google Classroom

Posted on March 29, 2020May 11, 2021 by Alice Keeler

My favoritist favorite favorite thing about Google Classroom is the Private Comments. Comments in Classroom are not feedback, they are conversations. BEFORE a student even starts an assignment they have the opportunity to ask for help or clarifying question in the Private Comments. You can reply. You can have back and forth conversation with students….

Posted on March 28, 2020September 17, 2020 by Alice Keeler

In Google Slides, Add a Feedback Slide “Do not use Google Docs” This is my tongue in cheek thing I like to say. Of course I use Google Docs, but I try not to assign my students to use a Google Doc. Fill out this Google Doc. This is my cheeky example, it’ s not…
