webinar, as well as a link to learning, never
closes a sample schedule for online
teaching and a canvas and Microsoft Virtual
teams request form that can be completed In case you would
like additional training. Let's go
ahead and get started. When you first log into
canvas, you will be presented with a canvas
dashboard. The dashboard will display
courses for which you are enrolled. On the left
hand side of the screen, you'll see a blue navigation bar. This
blue navigation bar is always visible no matter where you are inside
of canvas. It has access to the
dashboard, which has your courses listed. It has
access to a course list of all of the
courses that you may be enrolled in, and you may be enrolled in MAWR
courses than will actually show on your dashboard.
You can also scroll to the bottom of your courses list and click all
courses. You'll have access to a
calendar to an inbox to the
canvas commons to a resource called Studio
and your Broward resource is, and your help button
the Broward Resource is will direct you to the help button, where
you confined 24 7. Access
to the canvas support hotline and the canvas chat.
This is a resource where you can ask questions 24 7
and 365 days a year. In
addition, you'll also find Direct Resource is
for things like teaching with Microsoft teams in a remote
environment. The teacher edition of Resource is
our student textbook. An online resource is website
virtual counselor. Library Media Resource
is additional information about my Broward
technology tools. Direct access to the digital
resource is course or canvas Hope 123 course, which we'll talk
about more and access to a variety of video
tutorials or open training courses that you can
attend on your own. A swell as information about how
many courses are published in your school.
Let's go back and start at the dashboard
on the canvas dashboard. You will see ah
link to all of your courses that you have are either enrolled
in as a student that you are taking for professional development or the
courses that you will teach with your students on the
far right hand side, you'll see a to do button. This to do button
will show you assignments that you should grade or assignments that you need to
submit as a student in a professional development class, and it
will also list anything that's coming up within the next
week. That may be do or may need to be graded,
and it will display any new feedback that you've
received from any of the courses that you've attended. This
is a really great organizational tool, not only for yourselves
as an instructor of an online course, but for your students as well
to know what's expected of them this week, what's expected of them
next week, and what feedback have they received on their
work?
Underneath the inbox, you'll notice that
students in your courses can message you. They can
respond to feedback, and it's a nice way to
communicate back and forth with students. In your course.
Let's go ahead and jump into one of our canvas courses. I'm gonna
start in the getting started with canvas webinar to talk to you about some of
the different components that make up a canvas course
The first thing I want to point out is modules.
Content in a canvas course is best organized by
having resource is for your students assignments
for your students. Informational pages for your students
organized into a course module, you'll
notice that our modules are chunked according to the
content that you would find inside of those modules.
This makes it very easy for a student to find the
content that they need thio, either for the week or for the
topic being studied. Ah, lot of teachers
may be feeling a little overwhelmed that at the
idea of creating a canvas course, and it's important
to note that teachers do not have to create canvas courses
from scratch That, inside of a feature called the
Canvas Commons Resource is have been provided
four teachers to download into their courses to make
teaching online as easy as possible. So it's really
important that teachers understand that they have
access to a rich library of resource is that they can download.
So let me show you what this looks like. If I click on the
Canvas Commons link from the Global Navigation bar,
I'm brought to a website that host
materials that have been published by teachers all over
the world. Literally, what we're concerned about is
having helping you to find Broward approved and
Broward published materials the way you would
filter to find Broward approved materials is to collect
the filter button in the upper right hand corner of the screen
scroll and select Broward County public
schools. You can also narrow the
content to a specific grade level or a
specific content type.
I would also recommend that you search for
keywords. You can search for keywords such as
Broward approved
and you confined. Resource is that have been tagged with Broward Approved
materials or Broward approved textbooks or Broward
Approve secondary learning or Broward approved elementary learning. For
example, one great resource
that elementary teachers will want to know about eyes. The
keyword L N. C. To stand for learning never
closes. And when I search for learning never closes, you'll see that there are
different modules by grade level. This is a kindergarten,
um, social studies module, or this is a
kindergarten, uh, module for April
20th to 24th. Here's a third grade
module. Here's a second grade module. Here's 1/4 grade module,
so This is where sometimes filtering by grade level can also
help. So if I put in Broward,
approved learning never closes
for second grade. I'm going to find the modules that the
district has created to make of
adding content into my canvas courses. Easiest possible.
So let's say I'm looking for the week of April
6th to the ninth, and I wanna download this material and put
it into my canvas course. All I would need to dio is
click on the link of the title that I want to import into my
course. I'll see an overview of the
types of activities that are included in this resource that I can download.
I'll come over to the import and download button, click on
that button, and I select the course for which I want
this content to be imported into. You'll have a
list of all of your courses here, and you'll check the box for the
course that you want this content to be imported into.
You'll scroll to the bottom of this page and click import into
course. It may take some
time for this content to finish downloading and becoming available in
your course so give it some time to process and as
soon as the content is available in your course, it will be
organized in exactly the way you see it on the screen will be
organized into modules and will have the content chunked
into the different subject areas for you. This is
this is very similar to other types of resource is that we find
