Shortening Break Out Room

Have you ever wanted less than 60 seconds when you hit end breakout rooms?

If so, you can make it as short as 10 seconds. You can also have a timer show at the top of the students screens when in breakout rooms.

When you click to set up your break rooms, after selecting the type(automatic,manuel, student select), there is an options button. When you click the options button you can select the amount of time for them to remain open and a little further down, you can select how fast they close.

I’ve been using the timer this year so my students know how long they have on an assignment. It helps them stay on track as they see how long until I am going to pull them back together and have a discussion.

I am currently using the 10 second timer for return to the main room and it works great. I would use a longer one if they didn’t have the work timer to see when the rooms would close.

The timer and shortened return from the break out rooms has been great this year as we’ve done classwork and group work.

Long Division in Google Docs

I was making a long division worksheet for my students in Google Docs when I realized that it wasn't under equations. Here's how to insert it. This does not look very pretty so I have another video on how I do it in Google Sheets which takes longer but looks nicer.

Baby Yoda Pixel Art Template

This template is set for 3 sets of answers. I have the answers that are currently set, you will need to reformat them to use with your content.

Blooket Game

A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it. Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money. Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT. Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items. Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as. My students will play for hours if we let them. When we finish a game they are ready for another round. Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version. They have games that are already made or you can create a new game. My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best. If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.
