You Tube Channel - A Great Resource!

So many ways to communicate these days. This year I am focusing on communication through Canvas. However, that means not everyone has access to all of the information, because not everyone has access to my class.

No need to fear! Most of the information can be accessed through my you-tube channel. On this channel are several videos on GAFE tools (Google Apps For Education), Canvas, Math instructional aids, and other tech tools. (Link to my channel)

Currently, I have the following created playlists on my channel:

• Math Lessons
• Ratios
• Tech Stuff
• Gmail
• Canvas Tutorials
• Google Stuff!
• Bar Model Videos
• Area Model Videos

 As well as these saved playlists from other YouTube Channels.

• Canvas at CRCSD
• Google Drawings
• Google Forms
• Google Slides Tutorials
• Google Docs
• Google Sheets Tutorials
• Productivity & Organization
• Google Drive Tutorials
• Google Docs
• Google Forms
• Conquer Google Apps
• You Tube Help
• Make Gmail Better
• EDU Humor
• Padlet Tutorials
• Video Creation
• Backchannel Tools for the Classroom
• Google Forms 
• Google Tutorials
• Google Tutorials
• Sannite Classroom
• Google Forms
• Gmail
• Google Drive
• Google Slides
• Google Sheets
• Google Docs
• Google Drawings
• Curriculum Mapping
• Chromebook How-to Videos

You will notice some repeats because YouTube allows you to add the already created playlists of others to your playlists. So there are tons of resources for you and for your students as well. Remember, YouTube videos can be embedded into Canvas. And more will be added as I find and/or create them!

Another good resource from this channels is subscriptions. Subscribing to those you find to be a helpful resource allows you to be notified when they add more resources. A great way to keep up-to-date on the latest info.

Socrative

Here is an interactive video on using different features in Socrative.

You Tube

You Tube can be a great source of information for both the teacher and the student. But as with any source on the internet, it can also be overwhelming! The video below talks briefly about the advantages of creating and using a You Tube channel to help you manage that information.

To see more of the videos I have created on You Tube, click here.

Canvas - Embed video

Google Slides Q & A

Google has just introduced a new feature that allows your audience to ask questions as you present. Then, at the end you can review their questions, and even sort them by popularity! Very cool.

To access the new feature, go to present in the upper right. Click the arrow for the drop down menu and choose "Presenter View" "Use the new audience Q&A and view with speaker notes."

Here is a video that shows how it might work.

Canvas - Undelete a File

Canvas - Docs

Here are a series of videos that you can view to show you how to assign a Google Doc to students, have them turn in the doc through Canvas, and then how you can grade the doc using a rubric that you create.

Total viewing time is about 30 minutes. I have broken them down into parts so that you can view the parts that you might need help with. As with anything tech based, there is always more that could be shown. I have tried to stick to the basics.

If you have not done this yet, and want to try it with your students, you might want to consider embedding video #4 in the first assignment for students so they can reference it if they have questions about answering or turning in the doc.

If you have any questions, let me know. If anything needs to be clarified on a video, let me know that too, as they can always be edited.

VIDEO #1 - Creating the Google Doc worksheet or assignment (4:20)
