Paper to the Rescue!
- Free up some after school hours by directing students to https://app.paper.co/login/student for homework help.
- Add Paper to a lesson plan by having students work quietly in class and access a tutor if they have questions.
- Use Paper as a first line of support by asking students to submit a first draft of an essay for feedback. By the time students submit their revised drafts, you will receive a much more refined draft.
Google Calendar Virtual Meetings Update
Google calendar no longer defaults to Google Meet as the virtual meeting option. You will need to open the drop down menu to choose your meeting format. The district's preferred meeting format is Webex.
