None of the them are “indexed” or searched deeply by Google!  Which means students may never see these websites unless they get direct links and reason to go there.  Those links and many more can be found on the search engines of TheOlyCenter.org website.  If one of those links perked your interest – go to the search engine page to find the link!  There are a few hundred more of them broken down by discipline for you and your topic.  If you have any topics or links to add please don’t be shy – I would be happy to add them or build you a list.

​To change your “Weekly Checklist” (slideshow) in Canvas… 
1. Go to your Google Drive and find the presentation Tiffany has sent you.  Edit it as needed then…

• Go to File
• Publish to web
• Embed
• Copy the code

  2. Go to Canvas

• Find the page you want it on
• Edit
• At bottom click the </> code button under the current slideshow.
• *Delete the code that is there and paste the new code.*
• Click the </> button and you should see the new slideshow.  You can keep editing the page as normal.
• Scroll Down to click SAVE.

 
*IF YOU have more content on your home page… BE SURE to only replace the <iFrame> code
 
Pro Tip!
If you have MORE than the slide show on you page…. In edit mode hit return a few times (BEFORE the slide show) to separate the content a little bit.  THEN go to code mode </> 

Below is a video on how to embed a slide show in a Canvas page.

Think of cross-listing as combing like classes!  Be sure to combine the correct classes!  You cannot undo this.

 It is very important to.
Import from the correct class!  Remove due dates!
(If you do not remove them you will be deleting each item individually)

Q. Can we “hide” or not show the modules? 
A. Not like you can Assignments, but…
 
There are ways!

1. It should not matter.  Modules should be by date so just keep adding more modules at the top.  Old modules will be still be there at the bottom and not used.
2. If you really do not want them there… Unpublish them.  BUT then the kids can’t see them.  You will still see them.  Theoretically and Chronologically you should be done with them.

Caveat - Acrobat is a very powerful and there are other ways to create a form!  I believe this to be the simplest way as teachers already have numerous documents / worksheets already created.

How to set your contacts (for notifications) in Canvas. By default it is set to your @graniteschools.org account.  YES, students have one of those too.  Log in to www.office.com to check it.  However add whatever e-mail want but make sure it is one you do check.  I HIGHLY suggest your @granitesd.org acct. since you log in to Google quite often.

My suggestions!

• In the Notifications area Conversation = inbox = "e-mail" As in, check your inbox for a conversation.  Many users send conversations to their e-mail and then say student's have e-mailed them...
• Do NOT send your Conversations to your e-mail. Just have the conversation in Canvas.  Skip the middle software!  Check your inbox, respond in your inbox.
• Add a phone number too and get texts.
• Get a text when there is Conversation and know to check your inbox!
• You can decide what other notifications you want and where you want them sent.  You could chose to not be notified or not to check your e-mail but those are YOUR <bad> choices.

Videos should be embedded into canvas!  That "forces" the students to watch the video in your Canvas page.  If you just put a link to a video for students to click on... you just sent the kid the movie theater and expect them to come back!

Create your page or assignment, then click the video icon in the edit box and select embed.  Paste.  Click OK.  this will keep you students in "Class" and not wandering around the "theatre"... aka being sent to YouTube!
