Select Invite Students and Present.
From the screen that opens, select the Start button for the appropriate class.
Track Student Progress
As students work through the lesson, you can get a sense of where the class is by looking at the slide navigation. The indicator on the slide navigation specifies the number of students active on each slide.
The kebab menu next to each slide contains the following options:
- Present this slide: Launch this slide in the presentation window to present to your class.
- Move All Students to this Slide: Move all students to the selected slide on their devices.
- Hide Slide: Hide the selected slide from students.
Select Student Tracker at the top right to view each student’s current status and check in on individual students.
Once you have selected an individual student, you can view that student’s progress.
-
A black open circle indicates a slide the student has seen.
-
A gray closed circle indicates a slide the student has worked on.
-
An orange circle indicates the slide the student is currently on.
Open and Close Pacing Gates
Pacing gates in lessons allow teachers to pause for points of discussion or to bring the class together at a particular slide.
The sealed locks in the slide navigation indicate closed pacing gates. When students reach a closed pacing gate, they cannot progress to the next slide until the teacher unlocks it for the class.
To open a gate, select a sealed lock. The lock will open, and students can continue to the next slides.
Pause the Lesson
The Pause Students button can redirect students’ attention by stopping all work. Use this feature to give important directions or facilitate a discussion.
View Student Work
As students progress through the lesson, you can view their work to check for understanding and capture the work to share and discuss with the class.
-
Select any slide.
-
Individual student work for that slide will appear in an array below the slide preview.
Zoom in on any student’s work by clicking on their screen. Use the student list on the left to navigate between your students' slides. Click the camera icon at the top right to capture a student's work in the Gallery.
Capture and Discuss Student Work
Select the camera icon in the corner of any student screen to capture a frame of that student’s work.
All frames are saved in the Gallery. To create a discussion slide, drag and drop up to four frames into the Discussions space or click the + icon on the frame you wish to add to the slide. To protect anonymity, student names do not appear on discussion slides.
To remove a frame from the gallery, click the kebab icon on the frame and select Delete from Gallery from the drop-down menu.
