Stations Timers PowerPoint

This PowerPoint presentation has a fifteen minute station timer and a two minute cleanup and transition timer. Once you launch the slide show it does all of the work for you. The timers start automatically and the slides are timed to automatically transition without any effort on your part. They include music to help indicate what is happening. It is a PowerPoint file and not a Google Slides. It will not work in Google Slides. It is a large file and might take a while to download. Copy paste the slides for each station you have or set the Slide Show to start again when completed.

1 to 1 Chromebook information for students

Teachers!!!
The Chromebooks are coming!!

I have created a video to explain the new Chromebooks to the students.

The video is on YouTube so that you can play it for your class. You should probably develop a plan to show it on your campus so students don’t have to sit through it six times a day.

I then followed the sage advice of Mrs. Nelson and turned the YoutTube video into an EdPuzzle Activity. Now you can assign it in Google Classroom as an activity for your students. It includes many multiple choice questions that will grade automatically and provide you with an assignment grade for your gradebook.

I have also created this poster/cheat sheet that you can print to hang in your classroom.

Chromebook Tips and Shortcuts

January 14, 2020|Alwayslearning, EdTech, Elementary, Google, Secondary, Tools

Here are some options for posters and slide shows of Chromebook tips and shortcuts that would be excellent for new users and even helpful for experienced students.  

I learned a couple things myself looking these over.

  • Ctrl+Shift+V will paste text without the format (size, font, hyper links) it was in so it will match your document.
  • Ctrl+↓or↑  will change the layering order of objects in a slide or drawing.
