Listen to this post as a podcast (transcript):
More teachers are being asked to support student literacy in all content areas. For those trained in English language arts, this isn't a big deal. But if you have spent your career learning best practices in science, social studies, physical education, music, math, or one of many other content areas, the idea of "teaching" students how to write on top of covering your own content may seem impossible.

Good news: It's not all that complicated, and it doesn't have to be time-consuming, either. You don't need an English degree to get really good at helping students build writing proficiency in your content area. In this podcast episode, you'll learn seven easy strategies (plus one bonus tip) to support student writing skills without having to stop teaching your content.

You can get this information by reading the cheat sheet below, listening to the 28-minute podcast, or reading the full transcript.

Then tell me what you think in the comments section below. Have you used some of these strategies yourself? Would you add any others? What questions do you have about implementation? These strategies are simple, but they take some practice: Let's work together to help our students become strong, confident writers, no matter whose classroom they're in. ♦

Digital Focused Note-Taking Strategies and Tools

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When note-taking is engaging and sustained, it can be an effective way to increase student retention. This is especially true during remote learning, where students will often need to guide their own learning with little to no teacher presence. In this article, we'll explore strategies and tools that can be integrated into each stage of the AVID Focused Note-Taking Process. Teachers can mix, match, and customize these options for use in their own classrooms, or they can use them as inspiration for their own ideas for engaging students in a virtual note-taking process.

Digital Organization

For students to be successful in their digital-learning environment, they need to be able to collect their work, reflect on their learning process, and then recollect their learning for later application. AVID eBinders are a great digital tool for getting your students started on their journey to process their learning.

AVID eBinder Templates

Strategies that students can use to manage their many digital materials are included below. These strategies are platform and device agnostic. They are written with the older student as the intended audience. To teach younger students these skills, you can reference these strategies and resources to design age-appropriate lessons and materials. In fact, these digital organization strategies and tools are useful to educators as we manage and share our many digital resources and materials.

Creating and Managing Breakout Rooms During Meetings Guide

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Use breakout rooms to break students into small groups during class meetings. You can open and close rooms more than once during a session or move participants between rooms. Only meeting organizers can create and manage Breakout Rooms

First, schedule a meeting or Meet now

Choose a channel to meet in or add students from your class as attendees.

Important:

Using Meet now from a channel conversation

Call me

Copying the room meeting link

Adding a guest to meeting chat

Adding a guest to meeting

Create breakout rooms

1. Join your meeting at its scheduled time and wait for your students to join. Your meeting will open in its own window.

Read: Follow these best practices to help ensure a safe meeting.

2. Choose how many rooms you'd like to create from the dropdown.

3. Choose whether you'd like Teams to assign students to rooms Automatically or Manually if you'd prefer to assign students to rooms yourself.

Assign participants to rooms

If you chose Automatically, participants will already be assigned to different breakout rooms.

To manually add participants to rooms:

1. Hover over student names until checkboxes appear. Choose students by selecting the checkboxes.

2. Select More options and choose a room from the list.

3. Repeat this process until all students have been assigned to rooms.

4. To view the participants assigned to a Breakout Room, expand the arrow next to the room's name.

Rename rooms

Name your breakout rooms to reflect small student groups or projects.

Start breakout rooms

To start rooms individually:

To start rooms all at once:

You'll know rooms have successfully opened when their status changes to Open.

Join a breakout room

To join a room and check on in on its progress:

Send an announcement to breakout rooms

Once breakout rooms have started, send announcements to give time updates or share prompts.

Students will receive a notification in their meeting chat to check for your announcement.

​

Reassign participants

Move participants to different breakout rooms individually.

Note: Currently, you can only move participants when breakout rooms are closed.

To move participants individually:

1. Expand the list of participants under a Breakout Room.

2. Hover over a student's name and select the checkbox that appears.

3. Select More options and then the Breakout Room you'd like to move the student to.

Chat with participants in a breakout room

Each breakout room will have its own chat. You and students will be able to access it from your chats list and from Chat in the breakout room, just like regular meetings.

Students will only be added to a breakout room chat when you start the room. They will be removed as soon as the room is closed.

You will have access to all breakout room chats.

Students can still see the chat history and any files shared after the breakout room is closed.

Add or delete a breakout room

To add an additional breakout room:

To delete a breakout room:

Close breakout rooms

To close rooms individually:

To close rooms all at once:

You'll know rooms have successfully closed when their status changes to Closed.

Save files, recordings, and notes from breakout rooms

Files, recordings, and notes from a breakout room can be accessed in its chat. You and your students will be able to access these materials after the room has closed, but students will not be able to chat or add additional materials.

Edit breakout room settings

To edit settings, select More options > Rooms settings.

By default, breakout rooms will be set to automatically move students into opened rooms. If you'd like to change this setting, switch the toggle for Automatically move people into opened rooms to off.

When the automatic setting is turned off, students will receive a message asking them to join a breakout room. They will need to select Join room before being moved.

By default, this setting will be off. To turn it on, switch the toggle next to Participants can return to the main meeting to on.

This will allow students to leave their breakout rooms and return to the original meeting to rejoin the larger discussion.

Follow the steps to create new breakout rooms and assign students.

First, join a class meeting

You can join breakout rooms from Teams for desktop, iOS, or Android.

Note: Only meeting organizers can create breakout rooms.

Join a breakout room

By default, you'll be moved into your assigned breakout room as soon as your instructor opens the room. No action is required on your part.

If your instructor has turned off the automatic setting, you'll receive a message notifying you of the open breakout room. Select Join Room on desktop or Join on mobile to join the room.

If you're joining from your mobile device, do not navigate away from the meeting while your instructor is setting up rooms.

You'll also receive notifications to rejoin the main meeting or if you are moved into another room.

If you need to switch devices during the meeting or join with two devices, you'll still stay in the correct breakout room.

Chat in a breakout room

Each breakout room will have its own chat. You'll be able to access it from your chats list and from Chat in the breakout room.

You will be added to a breakout room chat when your instructor starts the room. You'll be removed from the chat when the room is closed.

You can still see the chat history and any files shared after the breakout room is closed, including meeting recordings.

Return to the main meeting

If you use Microsoft as an educator, this blog is for you. With strong, active Microsoft integrations that drive student engagement, Nearpod is committed to bringing your classroom to life. Read about all our integrations with Microsoft in this post!

*NEW* - Microsoft Immersive Reader within Nearpod!

All Nearpod users now have access to an early release of our beta integration with Microsoft's Immersive Reader. Students are able to leverage the powerful features of Immersive Reader within Nearpod text slides and four of our formative assessments: Open Ended Question, Draw It!, Quiz, and Poll. Some of these features include the ability to:

-Leverage text to speech capabilities
-Adjust text size, font and color
-Translate words or the entire block of text

Seamlessly access Nearpod with Office 365 SSO

With Office 365 SSO and the Microsoft Graph, you can seamlessly sign into your Nearpod account. Confirm your O365 credentials on the sign in page, and you will be signed in to your Nearpod account. For districts that support it, we have implemented a more rich metadata sync using the Microsoft graph. This helps reduce the strain on the district's infrastructure and operations team.

Collaborate with Microsoft Teams

When it comes to creating the best lessons for your students, collaboration is key. Microsoft Teams users can now share a Nearpod lesson directly to their Team as either an announcement or an assignment. With Nearpod's Microsoft Teams integration, collaboration is as simple as one click. You can access your Nearpod library from within Microsoft Teams and post Nearpod lessons directly to your Teams page. Anyone in the Team can access and complete your lesson without the need for a join CODE.

This sharing option allows you to share a session to your Microsoft Team in two ways-as an announcement or as an assignment. Students who see the post within Microsoft Teams can click the link and join the session in a new tab. They will not need to enter a Join CODE.

Easy lesson-access with Nearpod app for Windows 10

We have a dedicated Nearpod app for Windows 10 for your students. After downloading the app, your students can join a lesson by using the CODE on their Windows devices.

#NearpodTip: School districts can preload this application onto their provisioned Windows device fleet to save students and teachers time! ⏱

Nearpod + @MicrosoftEDU = better together. Check out all of Nearpod's integrations with Microsoft! Click To Tweet

Add your PowerPoint lessons to your Nearpod library

If your lesson is in PowerPoint , you can add it to your Nearpod library by simply dragging and dropping it. You can then add interactive Nearpod activities to your lesson, and launch it via Microsoft Teams to your class!

Add Microsoft Sway documents inside Nearpod lessons

Our Microsoft Sway integration allows Office 365 Business users to add rich Sway documents as first class elements inside their Nearpod lessons. You can add existing Sways to your lesson or create new sways dedicated to that lesson. Additionally, we have assembled a catalog of prebuilt Sways that cover a variety of topics: Animals, Countries and Continents, Famous Landmarks, Historical Events & Figures, and Seasons & Extreme Weather.

Directly Access and Save files to OneDrive

When using Nearpod, you can access your images, videos, and PowerPoints directly from your . Your students can also save their notes for each Nearpod lesson directly to their personal or school supplied OneDrives.

The protocols outlined below are intended to help university employees ensure the health and safety of faculty and students in teaching and learning spaces on USU campuses. COVID-19 conditions may change and cause USU to adapt and alter its procedures.

Protocols for Fall 2020

Social Distancing

USU will provide social distancing for students in all instructional and learning spaces.

Social distancing may be adjusted in USU instructional and learning spaces where:

seating is fixed to the floor;

seating varies in the width of and spacing between seats;

limitations due to instructional lab spaces;

Course scheduling logistics necessitate flexibility.

If the 6-foot social distancing standard is adjusted, the requirement will be to maintain 4-6 feet of separation between attendees (6 feet should always be maintained between students and the instructor);

Group work and other teaching /learning scenarios that require close contact between students and instructors should be avoided unless such practices can accommodate social distancing (6 feet of separation);

All students and instructors will be required to wear face coverings in the classroom. Students may request accommodations for the face covering requirement through the Disability Resource Center, and these will be resolved on a case-by-case basis.

Implementation of Classroom Social Distancing

Seat spacing/marking chairs/marking floors

Rooms with mobile tables and chairs
Marking the location for each student on the table with a "Sit Here" sticker. In these types of classrooms, the chair would be placed at the location of these table stickers and used accordingly. Marking chair locations should not be necessary.

Rooms with fixed seating (auditoriums)
Applying the "Sit Here" stickers in designated, predetermined chairs. Using the fabric-ready sticker so as to not provide confusion as to where to sit.

Rooms with fixed tables/mobile chairs
Mark the tables with the "Sit Here" sticker, not chairs, of the pre-designated locations.

Desks
Marking the location for each desk is with the "Sit Here" sticker (using either fabric-ready or hard surface stickers).

Excess furniture (tables, chairs, desks) that will NOT be conducive to the social distancing spacing will be stored when not in use:

Where possible stacking "stackable" chairs in the back of the room and wrapped/bound with shrink wrap or caution tape so as to not allow someone to take a chair off and sit in an undesignated spot;

Desks and non-stackable chairs can be relocated to rooms where they can be marked by classroom number and stored until they can be returned.

ADA accommodations in classrooms:

International Symbol of Accessibility (Blue) colored stickers will mark a wheelchair accessible seat that can be moved to accommodate a wheelchair if needed. This would occur in movable seating classrooms. In fixed seating locations, these same stickers will be used on the floor to identify a designated seating location for these same students;

A single (portable) chair will be provided in each classroom to accommodate an ASL interpreter and should be accounted for in the social distancing room cap;

Some rooms may be provided with a specialized desk from DRC. This will be placed in the location of one of the designated ADA seats, to be used by any student in classes without a student in need of this resource. These tables will be requested by specific students and will be placed by staff from the DRC on an as-requested basis.

Classroom Signage

Each classroom will include:

Wall decals on side of door to indicate which door to use to enter/exit (green);

ADA decal in blue for designated entrance/exits - separate signs;

Do Not Enter/Exit Only sign on the opposite sides of the doors ("wrong way");

Prevention Precaution signage (developed by UMAC) that includes the following: (available at https://www.usu.edu/covid-19/operations/prevention-signage):

Hand Washing

Face Coverings Required

Symptoms - what to do

Avoid contact/shaking hands

Cover coughs and sneezes

Social distancing

A diagram of the room near instructor station which includes the capacity and designated seat locations.

Classroom Technology

Approximately 160 classrooms on the Logan campus will be equipped with an instructor camera, wireless microphone and computer. This will allow instructors to web broadcast to students with Zoom or record lectures with Kaltura. All recordings will be integrated into Canvas;

Most Statewide Campus classroom already have instructor cameras, microphones and computers;

Specific, non-corrosive cleaning agents must be used to disinfect technology surfaces and will be provided by Facilities Management and AIS at each instructor station;

Instructors should only use USU-supported technology in classrooms.

Pedestrian Traffic Flow

Each room should have an entrance and exit sign (all doors should indicate to use in case of emergency);

Where possible separate doors should be used to enter and exit to help encourage social distancing;

Student should be directed to move to the first open seat furthest from the door they entered through;

Instructors should dismiss students from class starting with the row closet to the marked exit door(s) so that student can maintain social distancing;

A diagram for classrooms should be provided with traffic flow arrows (using the same diagram addressed in the Signage section).

Cleaning and Sanitation

Cleaning guidelines for non-infected areas by Facilities Management.
At least once daily:

Disinfect all door handles/knobs including outside

Disinfect light switches

Disinfect conference room tables

Disinfect common use counter tops

Disinfect instructor and facilitator stations

Disinfect tables, desks, and high-touch areas

Frequent cleaning/sanitizing: classrooms that are used more than four times per day will receive a "mid-day" cleaning by Facilities personnel-to include cleaning/sanitizing the instructor station and equipment, student work areas, doorknobs, light switches, chairs, etc... (as noted in a VI-a-i)

1. Students attending the classroom will be provided sanitizing wipes to clean their area;

2. Instructors will be asked to perform the frequent cleaning for their teaching station and provided specialized cleaning supplies at the instructor station;

3. Variations of this process may be implemented by colleges and campuses as long as the minimum cleaning/sanitizing expectations are met.

When working within Microsoft Teams, owners of teams have the capability of deleting a team, and sometimes these teams may be accidently deleted. When the team is deleted, it is held in the "recycle bin" for 30 days until it is permanently deleted. This blog post will walk an IT administrator through the process of restoring a deleted team in Microsoft Teams.
Step 1: Create a Team in Microsoft Teams
Create a new team in Microsoft Teams titled Project Del Mar:

Create additional tabs w/ content (including OneNote and Planner tasks), as an example:

Create sample files and folder content under the Files tab:

Create sample chat content under the Conversations tab:
Step 2: Delete the Team in Microsoft Teams
From within Microsoft Teams, right click the name of the team and select Delete Team. In the dialog box, select I understand that everything will be deleted and then click the button Delete Team.

Notice the team is now deleted and no longer appears in the list of teams you subscribe to:
Step 3: Restore the Deleted Team:
Launch PowerShell as an administrator. Note, at the time of this writing, this restore procedure requires the AzureADPreview module to be installed. To install, simply type Install-Module AzureADPreview and follow the prompts.

IMPORTANT: When a team is created in Microsoft Teams, it creates an Office 365 group. This procedure is the process for restoring an Office 365 group and is documented in more detail here.

Connect to Azure AD by typing the following command:

When prompted, sign in:

Once you are signed in, you will see the following:

Display all deleted Office 365 groups by typing the following command:

Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup

Note: Use -All $True if you have a lengthy list of groups.

Example:

Find the group you wish to restore, and copy the id from the Id column to the clipboard. Next, to restore the deleted group type the following where [ID] is the Id of the group and press Enter:

Restore-AzureADMSDeletedDirectoryObject -Id [ID]

Example:

Verify group was restored successfully by typing the following command, where [ID] is the ID of the group you restored:

Get-AzureADGroup -ObjectId [ID]

Example:

Important: The process of restoring an Office 365 group and thus restoring the team in Microsoft Teams can take up to 24 hours.

After waiting up to 24 hours, return to Microsoft Teams. Note, the team will be displayed in the list of teams you subscribe to, and all existing content within the tabs, including conversations will be restored successfully. This also includes channels as well.

Example:

There are three different ways to add PDF files to your presentation. To begin, select the presentation you want to edit from your Nearpod Library, or start a new presentation.

Add a PDF file directly to the presentation as a series of slides or a single slide

You can drag and drop PDF files under 10MB directly into a Nearpod lesson.

From your computer, select the file (10 MB or less) that you want to add to your lesson.

Click, hold, and drag the file into the edit presentation window.

Alternatively, you can select the UPLOAD FILES button to browse and select the PDF file from your local computer.

PDFs can appear within a lesson as multiple individual slides (where one Nearpod slide is created for each file)

or as a single scrolling slide (where the whole document appears within one Nearpod slide and students scroll through it at their own pace during a live lesson.)

Importing as individual slides allows you to create interactive activities in between the images.

Once you have added the file, you will see a pop-up asking if you want to create a single PDF viewer or separate slides.

Select the option you prefer.

Wait for the files to upload to the presentation.

Add a PDF file through the Add Slide menu

Select "Add Slide", then "Add Content" and choose "PDF Viewer"

In order to add a web-based PDF, please refer to our FAQ article "How can I share a website with my students"? here.

Directions on how to share sound in a Teams meeting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you're playing a video or audio clip as part of a presentation in a meeting, you'll want to include sound from your computer. Here's how to do it.

Note: This feature isn't yet available on Mac devices, but it's coming soon.

Include computer sound

To share sound from your computer, select Share content in your meeting controls and then Include computer sound -it's the switch on the top left of your sharing options.

When you share, all audio from your computer, including notifications, will be included in the meeting.

Note: Teams and your computer need to be set to the same speaker. Adjust your computer's audio output in your system settings, and your Teams audio output in your device settings in Teams.

You can also choose to include sound (or stop including it) after you've already begun sharing your screen. Just select Include computer sound in the sharing controls near the top of the window.

Tap the button again to stop sharing sound.

Include computer sound in a room with a Teams device

Teams devices allow you to share content using cables connected to the room console. Unfortunately, we don't yet support sharing computer sound this way.

If you want to share computer sound when you're in a meeting room with a Teams device in it:

1. Join the meeting from your personal device by selecting Audio off when you join the meeting, which will automatically mute not only your microphone but also any audio playing from the teams meeting to prevent echo.

2. Select Share content in your meeting controls, and then Include computer sound.

Notes:

To avoid echo, remember to keep only one device's mic and speaker on in a room.

Try to minimize the number of apps you run while you're sharing your system audio. If your computer is running too many apps, your audio could suffer.

Troubleshooting

Poor audio quality

If your computer is running a lot of applications, you may experience issues with sound quality, like lagging or cutting out. If this happens, closing other applications can help.

Low volume

If you're using Windows, other sounds from your device (like notifications and alerts) are reduced in volume when you join a Teams meeting. Most of the time, that's probably what you want so you can focus on the meeting. But if you're sharing computer sound, the same setting that quiets other system sounds will also quiet the audio you're trying to share.

To fix this, go to your system's sound settings, find your Sound Control Panel, select Communications and then Do nothing. Finally, apply the changes so others will be able to hear your shared audio loud and clear.

Troubleshooting potential problems

You may be able to fix some issues like blank screens, stuttering audio, loading issues, missing screen elements, system slowness, and any similar tech-seeming issues on your own by working with your IT team.

To troubleshoot issues, follow the steps below:

Make sure that you've 'Allowed' Learning.com to use your webcam.

Steps to do this will vary depending on which browser you're using. Let Support know if you need assistance!

Internet Explorer (IE): IE does not allow for webcam access. You will need to use Passports with another browser.

Note: If you attempt to allow use of your webcam and you see that the settings are grayed out or disabled, this may mean that your IT department has restricted access to the settings. For an immediate solution, please have students log in with their typed usernames and passwords.

Check to see if another application is using the webcam.

Your webcam may only be able to work with one program at a time. To help ensure that nothing else is running, please close any browser tabs or windows that you are not actively using.

Is your student using the most recent version of his or her Passport?

The 'Date Issued' on your student's Passport will tell you the last time it was printed. If a new Passport may have been printed since that date, help your student log in with the typed username and password. For security purposes, only the most recently printed Passport will work for the student.

Clear out old data

Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Many of the potential problems listed above can be caused by outdated or corrupt temporary files in your browser, called cache and cookie files. There are two ways to clear out these files:

Option A: Through your Options, Tools, or Control Panel Menu

Option B: Keyboard shortcut for Internet Explorer

1. Press F12

2. Go to Cache dropdown

3. Select Clear Browser cache

4. Restart your computer

Check for extensions and add-ons

Browser extensions are plug-ins that change the functionality of a webpage. Because extensions don't take up space on a computer, they can often be added even when a computer is set to not allow downloads. As a troubleshooting step, try disabling any extensions that you don't recognize or that didn't come with the browser originally, open a new window, and access our lessons again.

Manage extensions within

Check your browser version

Make sure your browser is up-to-date by visiting www.whatismybrowser.com. If your browser is outdated, please check our Minimum System Requirementspage to see if the version meets our system requirements and consider updating to the latest version.

Check the clock

Some error messages can be tied to the device's clock not being accurate, which can affect how our servers pass information. Verifying that your computer's clock is accurate against international time can resolve some content issues.

Specific to Chromebooks: ensuring that caps lock functionality is not on

As there is no 'caps lock' key on Chromebooks, students can accidentally enable the functionality without being aware of it. This can cause issues with password entry, keyboarding activities, and lesson performance.

On Chromebooks, caps lock functionality can be toggled on by hitting the 'alt' key and the magnifying glass key at the same time. You'll see an arrow appear on the bottom right notifications bar and a pop-up message will alert you when the caps lock functionality is turned on. To turn the functionality off, tap the 'shift' key.
