One of the hardest parts about distance learning is not being able to see and talk with our students on a regular basis. Even if you are doing video conferences, it is hard to know how students are doing and if they need help. One option is to have daily check-ins using Google Forms. This post shares free daily check in google forms for distance learning and some tips for how to use them.

About the Daily Check-In Google Forms

These daily check-in Google Forms are one way to check in your with students on a daily basis. The responses can also be shared with special education or any support staff who serve the students.

I have included two check-in forms for you: one for the beginning of the day and one for the end of the day. You can send both of the forms or choose to only send one.

Beginning of the Day Check-In Form

This form is designed to check in with the students before they begin their assignments (but after they locate them).

The form asks the following questions:

How are you feeling today?

Do you have anything to tell me? This can be about school or life.

Were you able to find all of your work for today?

Do you need any help getting started with your assignments?

What questions do you have about your assignments?

End of the Day Check-In Form

This form is designed to check in with the students as they finish their learning for the day.

The form asks the following questions:

How are you feeling now?

How did you to do today?

How do you feel about your assignments today? (This is a linear scale with "I didn't understand anything" at one end and "I understood everything" at the other end.)

Do you have anything to tell me? This can be about school or life.

Modifying the Check-In Forms

After you copy the forms to your drive, you may go in and modify any of the questions and/or add new questions. These screenshots are also included in the free download.

Assigning the Check-In Forms
If you need help assigning these check-in forms to your students, click here to grab a free guide to help!
When assigning the forms, I recommend you make a new copy for each week (you can keep the responses organized using the spreadsheet that Google Forms generates).

Another way to send the Check-In Forms to your students is to link them via a Google Slides Template. Here is an example template. The link to copy this template can be found in the section titled Get the Free Daily Check-In Google Forms and Slide Template Here.

Viewing the Responses

You can easily view the responses by generating a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is automatically sorted by date and time so you can keep your responses organized. You can also sort the responses alphabetically by student name.

Learning to sign is easier than ever, thanks to the internet.

The visual language, designed to aid the deaf or hard of hearing, is a set of gesticulations and hand movements that correspond to the spoken word.

There are numerous ways to learn American Sign Language (ASL) outside the old classroom method. From free online lessons to video tutorials, a world of possibilities is open for those aspiring to teach themselves this hands-on language.

1. YouTube videos

One of the easiest ways to learn sign language is through YouTube tutorials. The video hosting site has dozens of teachers who give free lessons on how to sign the alphabet, common phrases, numbers, and more.

Here are a few places to start:

Dr. Bill Vicars: The hard of hearing ASL expert has numerous degrees in deaf-centric studies, according to his bio on Lifeprint. His love of the language is evident on his YouTube page, which hosts a plethora of ASL lessons.

Expert Village: The YouTube channel is home to lessons on pretty much anything, and is a great source of ASL videos for beginners. There's an extensive series on common phrases, letters of the alphabet, and more.

Laura Berg Life: This channel, previously called "My Smart Hands," is especially great because it was designed with teaching ASL to both adults and young children in mind. It offers videos that share how to sign temperatures, common phrases, read names, and more. Some videos are even dedicated to answering viewer questions.

2. Web resources

Outside of YouTube, the internet also offers a plethora of resources for those looking to learn sign language, including quizzes, courses, and more. Here are three helpful options to consider.

Image: screengrab/signasl.org

ASL Pro: Don't let the site's old school appearance fool you. ASL Pro is a free tool with a wealth of quizzes, fingerspelling practices, and a super detailed dictionary complete with video examples for learning how to sign hundreds of words.

Start ASL: This online resource offers a variety of courses for those interested in learning sign language. There's a free three-level course that offers workbooks and activities, along with fingerspelling lessons. And if you're looking for more advanced ASL learning, the site also offers additional paid courses, both online and office, created and taught by professional ASL instructors.

SignASL.org: This online ASL Dictionary is the perfect place to search for words and phrases and learn their corresponding signs. Simply type in a term and the site will show you a selection of ASL videos and resources from trusted websites to choose from.

3. Apps

You can also keep a sign language lesson in your very own pocket by downloading an app onto your smartphone. On-the-go ASL lessons can help you stay refreshed on little things and come in hand when you need to look something up. Not to mention, apps that teach sigh language will let you study any time, anywhere.

Image: screengrab/asl coach

There's a variety of sign language apps available for popular Apple devices, Android devices, and more, but here are a few recommendations if you're struggling to decide how to learn ASL.

ASL Coach: This free iOS app keeps things short and sweet, teaching you how to master the sign language alphabet.

ASL: Fingerspelling: The $3.99 iOS app from ASL resource Lifeprint helps gets users up to speed on their fingerspelling techniques.

Marlee Signs: Oscar-winning deaf actress Marlee Matlin is also in on the app game. Marlee Signs is free for iOS and teaches ASL with video lessons and fingerspelling practice.

Test yourself!

Want to test out your skills? We learned the ASL alphabet and gave fingerspelling a shot. Can you figure out what we spelled? Answer below.

I am a huge advocate for a calm classroom environment. I want students to feel like the classroom is a safe place to learn and grow. A simple way I create this is by using videos I have found online!

When is the best time to use videos like these?

Have one playing when:

Students enter the classroom

Transition times

After a high-energy activity (PE, recess, class game)

Dismissal time

During tests or independent work time

What are the benefits of these videos?

I get complimented frequently about how calm and quiet my classroom is. Students have plenty of opportunities to move and speak, of course, but we are overall a quiet room. The videos create a calm environment which is beneficial to both the students and me. The light music in the background also helps to eliminate side conversations. The images on the screen are soothing and give students something to focus on when they need a little break.

Do students get distracted by the videos?

If it's a brand-new video, students may watch a few minutes just to see what it is. Most of the videos are the same image or loop the same sequence over and over, so students stop watching once they get an idea of what it is.

Are they able to focus?

Yes! I have found that a little background noise not only helps them focus, but it reduces other distractions as well. Students will request a video if I have forgotten to start one.

Do students ever fall asleep?

Every now and then. I mostly use these videos to help students lower their energy levels and focus. If they are already tired, we get up and take movement breaks. These are perfect to play at the end of the day during dismissal time. They help my students pack up and exit quietly, and they also help my bus group enter quietly.

Disclaimer: Some of these videos have ads, but most are at the beginning. I usually mute it until the ad is over and then turn off annotations by clicking the "settings" icon. If random adds start popping up in the middle of our favorite videos, I'll stop using that one and search for something similar to it. : )

Videos for warmer weather:

Videos for colder weather:

Videos for anytime:

What videos do you love to play in your classroom? I'm always looking for new ones, so please share in the comments below!

Make sure to save this post on Pinterest so you can always find it!

Virtual field trips are a game changer. Not only do they fill in for real field trips when budgets and other roadblocks prevent in-person options, but virtual field trips also open doors to educational experiences all over the country and the world, both past and present. No fundraising or permission slips required!

(Note: For anyone who needs it, YouTube offers a closed-captioning option. Just click the CC button in the bottom right-hand corner.)

Amazon Career Tours are free virtual field trips that inspire students to pursue careers of the future. Tour whenever, wherever on Kahoot! Each tour comes with a Teacher Toolkit that includes a facilitation guide and student worksheets.

2. The Zoo

There are so many amazing online options when it comes to zoos that we couldn't narrow it down to just one. Most zoos have live webcams in some of their most popular exhibits, such as the KC Zoo Polar Bear Cam and the Giant Panda Cam at Smithsonian's National Zoo. However, some zoos offer a more in-depth look. You'll definitely want to check out the San Diego Zoo as their site for kids includes behind-the-scenes videos and stories, as well as a variety of printable activities and online games. Check out our full list of virtual zoo goodness.

3. The Aquarium

It's a similar story with aquariums. You have your pick of live webcams, but our favorites are the Georgia Aquarium's Ocean Voyager webcam (wait for the whale shark!) and the "Jelly Cam" at Monterey Bay Aquarium (so soothing). The Seattle Aquarium even has a 30-minute video tour. Want more under-the-sea fun? Here's our ultimate list of virtual aquarium field trips.

4. The Farm

The classic preschool field trip goes online! You can have your pick of dairy farm field trips, but we like this one from the Dairy Alliance and this one from Stonyfield Organic. Farm Food 360 gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in Canadian farm and food tours-from raising pigs to making milk and cheese. We're also loving these virtual egg farm field trips from the American Egg Board.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

5. An Art Museum

We found 20 art museums with virtual tours, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art's # MetKids and its awesome Where's Waldo? setup. And you can't miss the world-famous Louvre in Paris (no passport needed!). Check out the current virtual tours: Traveling Materials and Objects, the Advent of the Artist, the Body in Movement, and Founding Myths: From Hercules to Darth Vader!

6. A National Park

From webcams at Hawaii volcanoes to a virtual run along the rim of the Grand Canyon, you have tons of options here. Our top pick would have to be Yellowstone. The interactive maps are a great way to see the Mammoth Hot Springs and Mud Volcano, but we think kids will be psyched about the Old Faithful Geyser livestream and the opportunity to make their own predictions for its next eruption. Check out everything the National Park Service has to offer virtually.

7. A Planetarium

Through Stellarium Web, kids can explore over 60,000 stars, locate planets, and watch sunrises and solar eclipses. If you enter your location, you can see all the constellations that are visible in the night sky in your corner of the world.

Take your students on a virtual field trip of a recycling center and a modern landfill. Plus, there's a full-on curriculum that includes lesson plans, take-home handouts, and more.

A collaboration with over 1,200 leading museums and archives, Google Arts & Culture is an incredible storehouse of monumental works of art. We recommend the Street View and Play sections.

Boasting the world's largest collection of 360° image videos, 360 Cities provides kids with the opportunity to see stunning panoramas across the globe, including their video of the ice floe on the Vistula River in Poland.

It's the official residence of the Queen of England, and boy, is it opulent! Get a peek inside the gorgeous Grand Staircase, White Drawing Room, Throne Room, and Blue Drawing Room.

See one of the wonders of the world with this amazing, thousands-year-old fortification system known the world over. This virtual tour has four scenes available (you have to pay to get access to all 14). The bird's-eye view of Mutianyu pass is a highlight.

Most of us recognize the giant stone statues of Easter Island, but what's the story behind them? Nova's online adventure "Secrets of Easter Island" delves into the mystery with a virtual tour.

National Geographic lets you explore the world's largest cave, located in Vietnam. Use the interactive map to enjoy the fully immersive experience (sound on!).

You don't need a time machine! Discovering Ancient Egypt has a ton of free resources, but it's the interactive pyramid map and 3D temple reconstructions that really give it a field trip feel.

Virtually visit Turn Back the Clock, a museum exhibit that ran for two years at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. Through compelling personal stories, innovative interactive media, and pop culture artifacts, the exhibit takes guests through seven decades of history-from the dawn of the nuclear age to significant policy questions our leaders face today.

Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)
