Chatting with students WITHOUT Google accounts

Are your lower grade students missing Google accounts?  Set the sharing settings so that every student has a way to chat!

Adding Videos to Google Drive

So you want to record a video and send it out - upload it to Google Drive first!  Then you're sending out a LINK instead of a big, massive video file.

Google Sites for Basic Communication

Use Google Sites to communicate with your students!  This is a quick and easy way to send information to your students in a way that's FREE and easy to organize.  It can be updated daily, or you can make a new page in Google Sites for each eLearning day.  If it's been a while since you've created a Google Site, watch this training video.

Chatting with students during eLearning days

Google Docs get "messy" after a while because there's no way to organize the chat messages as they come in.  If you want a quick, easy, and FREE way to communicate with your students over the course of an eLearning day, then BackChannelChat.com might be for you.  See how, in just a few minutes, you can have a custom, private chat room ready to go for use with your students.

Google Classroom: MAKE A COPY

Don't forget to use the very useful feature, "Make a copy for each student" in Google Classroom so that students don't have to worry about turning something in via e-mail, sharing settings, etc. 

​

In this video, I demonstrate how to make a quick and easy electronic worksheet and set it so every student in the classroom has a copy of it!

Record lessons with SCREENCASTIFY

If you need to record a process for students (or teachers) to follow along with on the screen, I recommend SCREENCASTIFY from the Chrome Web Store.  iPad users have built-in screen recording features, but on laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks, Screencastify is an EASY way to put a video together for student eLearning lessons.

Google Hangouts

Watch this video to see how quick and easy it is to set up a video conference with your students - it can be a single student, or MULTIPLE students at the same time.
