Using Google Slides to Create a Class Study Guide By: Daniel Knox

It's almost Christmas break!



Here is your tech tip Tuesday!

Using Google Slides to create a class study guide:

As we get closer to exams, here is one way to use Google Slides to create a collaborative learning space for your students. 
1) Create a simple Google Slideshow with a few questions. You can start from scratch or convert an existing powerpoint.  I would recommend one question per slide. 
2) Share the document with your class. You can do this by sharing the link on Google Classroom, Schoology, or many other ways. 
3) The students can work individually or in groups by answering the questions and then adding a new slide with a picture of their work to the document.  Here are the student steps to do this on this iPad.

Here is a simple example of something similar I did a few weeks ago in one of my classes. I split them up into groups and they each answered some questions and then uploaded pics into a document that they all had access to use for review and extra help when studying.  Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions for tips next semester.  

Don't forget to check out the tech tip blog to find more information and ideas.

Preventing Cheating on Schoology: By Amanda Cross

Hello Friends!  So I am going to spend the next few Tuesday's showing you ways to control cheating on Schoology.  It is not a fix all and won't prevent it but it sure does slow it down and make it more difficult to cheat. The first thing I always do when administering a test or quiz on Schoology is check my settings!  The picture below shows several settings that I use to help with cheating. Randomize Order:  I always randomize the questions as much as possible.  So that no one person is on the same question at the same time.  I also tell students this so that maybe they will think " I can't look at my neighbor because they will have a different question." Resumable:  I always set resumable to NO on a test or quiz because if they go out of schoology it will not let them back into that test and they will have to come see me to be let back in.  Then I can ask them why they got out of the test/quiz.  Now with this setting you will have...

Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad

5th/6th Tip: Sarah Burton As a part of our technology program, I will be sending you tech tips every Tuesday.  They will range in complexity and purpose, but I promise to only send you ideas that I think are worth your time.  This week’s tip comes from the blog   The Techie Teacher  and involves using an iPad stylus on your computer trackpad.  I played around with it last night and found that it was very helpful when it comes to drawing or writing a signature on the computer. http://www.thetechieteacher.net/2017/08/using-stylus-pen-on-computer-trackpad.html Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad A few weeks ago I learned that stylus pens also work on computer trackpads.  How did I not know this?  As soon as I made this discovery, I grabbed my 99 cent iPad stylus pen, opened Google Autodraw and tested it out on both my MacBook and Chromebook.  It worked like a charm! I posted the image on the left to both ...
