What educators are saying
Description

How can I scaffold student work during distance learning?
•Audio: Download the Talk + Comment extension from the Google Chrome Store and you can easily leave quick audio comments on different slides explaining the tasks or giving feedback.
•Videos: Want students to watch a quick video or mini-lesson before they begin? Add a new slide to the beginning of the document and link the video or task you want students to complete before beginning.
Happy Teaching,
