Quizlet Live & Remote Learning

Let's face it - teaching and learning remotely can be hard! And at this point, it might start to feel a little redundant. 

Quizlet Live is offering an individual mode just for remote learning. 

Here's how to play:
1️⃣ During your face-to-face teaching time (Zoom/Google Meet) with students, share your screen

2️⃣ Choose a study set from Quizlet and select LIVE from the toolbar on the left

3️⃣ Select INDIVIDUALS

4️⃣ Students can now join from a mobile device or another tab in their browser using a QR Code or the 6-digit join code

5️⃣ When all students have joined, start the game

6️⃣ The first student to answer all questions correctly wins the game

Would your students still enjoy playing with TEAMS in our remote environment? You can do that too! Find the directions here towards the end of the article.

Using Zoom Safely & Securely

With all we have heard in the news, Zoom can seem a little scary. Here are a few tips to Zooming with Safety & Security.

1. Don't make your Zoom links or passwords public! Mischief makers will find them if you do. Instead protect them through platforms such as:

• Canvas
• Google Classroom
• Seesaw or
• Emails sent to Students and Parents through TAC (Teacher Access Center).

Note: Zoom can be integrated in Canvas which allows only the course participants to join. See post here or handout here.

2. Enable (at least) these Meeting Settings:

• Require meeting password
• Enable waiting room

NOTE: As of April 6, 2020, Keller ISD requires password protected Zoom Meetings as well as an enabled waiting room.
