Finally found some time to catch up on my tech reading these last few days. 

 Here are some ideas you might find useful to implement as we continue with remote learning.

Check-In Forms: 
  • Here are a variety of Check-In forms that you can copy and modify to fit your needs.
  • Found this one-page google slide that you can use to check-in with how your students are doing. Feel free to make a copy and edit to fit your needs. 


Google Sites Update: You can now add a banner announcement across the top of your website (it will appear on all pages). This is a quick way to add an announcement/reminder! See directions ↓↓
