Zoom Focus Mode

 


Zoom has a new mode that you can enable which is really helpful for students.  Zoom's focus mode allows students to see you(the presenter), themselves, and a shared screen. If you are asking your students to have their cameras on this is a great way to help them focus on the lesson and be less nervous about their camera being on.  I have also found in this mode that my computer is running faster.  As a teacher, I can still see all of my students but they can't see each other.

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.   Baby Yoda Pixel Art Template Be on the lookout for this activity given 2 ordered pairs and asking for slope, y-intercept, and the equation of a line.  I'm also formatting this for converting between percents, decimals, and fractions.  If you want to reformat it before I post the above activities here is how. 

Gimkit Don't Look Down

Gimkit came out with a new mode almost a week ago and the students love it.  It's called Don't Look Down.  In this mode, students work to reach the 6 different summits.  Along the way they jump on various objects and test their skills.  This game can teach you about your risk takers and your cautious students.   If you want to add extra excitement, play with your students to see who gets higher.  This is currently the favorite mode for my classes and I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
