Class Setup:
-
Minimize your Navigation to "Home", "Modules", "Grades" -- only turn on additional features as you use them (ie Announcements, Discussions) to help students/families. People navigation menu should ALWAYS be hidden.
- Establish a course Home Page that includes your Google Meet link and basics for your class (links to schedule, contact info, syllabus, about you, etc.)
- Pictures are helpful for navigation but the larger the picture or the quantity of pictures can slow down the loading of your page for students.
- Leverage the many great resources from our instructional coaches.
