Tech Tip Tuesday #26









Today's Tip:
Use Google Slides or Docs to create a daily/weekly agenda.

Schoology Pro Tip:
Embed your agenda into a page at the top of your Schoology course! Students will have access to a detailed overview of each day's lesson, no more "What are we doing today?"! Absent students will also be kept up-to-date with the lessons.

Weekly Agenda Using Google Docs:
Check out this Template I created after reading about a similar one on this technology blog

Daily Agenda Using Google Slides:
Check out this Template I created based on one of the options on this blog and read more about creating interactive agendas with Google Slides on this technology blog.

What Works for Me:
I put all my classes on the same set of Slides so I only have to open the one thing every day (and it's bookmarked for easy access). I present this slide deck on the screen in my room at the beginning of class every day so students can read it as they are coming into the room. I leave it open all day and switch back to it as needed throughout the class period. I have slides "skipped" when they are not needed for that day so I can "save" them for another day. I embedded YouTube timers to help keep students on track. I use Bitmojis to make it more engaging for the students, I switch out the main one every couple of days (or weeks) and the rest have been the same all year. I also included expectations, I feel like my 7th graders definitely need the daily reminders.

How do you share the daily/weekly/unit plan with your students?
What works for you?
