Welcome back to part 2 of this explanation of how I set up my Google Site. Today, I will walk you through the Parent Portal and a few of the other pages on the site. If you missed how I set that all up, you can go back here to part 1 to read it first. If you recall, I have the Google Site set up into two sections: A Student Portal and a Parent Portal. The student portal includes information specifically for the kids. Things they will need to be successful. The Parent Portal does the opposite. It is designed to be a place where the parents find information they need in order to feel informed and up-to-date about our classroom. Parent Portal Once the parents click in to the portal, they will see some top links to important outside sites. There is an email button, one for our district parent page, and one directly to the gradebook on Schoology for their child. All of those buttons were made using the "Button" icon on the Layout menu. I simply linked them to the proper webpage and moved them to the top of the Parent Portal. The next area the parents will see is a "Meet the Teacher" section. Here, I recorded a short video introducing myself. It is nothing special, just me talking and a few pictures of my family, but it makes me a real person for the families. Since we won't be able to meet in person now due to the Distance Learning method of instruction, I felt it was important for me to show my parents who I am in a real, physical form. I then inserted a Contact Form right away. I want to collect information (such as emails and phone numbers) but also gather a bit of information about the students themselves. This form allows the parents to give me a little insight into the kids who will be in my Distance Learning room. You can grab a copy of it to edit yourself if you would like. After that, I have the bulk of the information set up for the parents. Broken up into 4 main sections, the parents will learn of: expectation of 3rd grade, curriculum in 3rd grade, how we will communicate, and what supplies the kids should probably have in order to be successful. On Google Slides, all of the information is housed. I embedded it on the site using the Drive symbol in Layout. The slides are chock full of the information the parents will need. When they click on the slides, they will enlarge and allow the parents to read all about our class. The first slides share the expectations I have of the students in my classroom. What will our daily schedule look like? How will they function on Zoom? Where will they get their assignments? All of the burning questions parents have will be answered here. Then, they will learn all about the curriculum that the kids will learn this year. With the uncertainty of Distance Learning the last time around, I felt it important to share with the parents just what we will learn throughout the year. All of the books and curriculum we will be learning from will also be listed here. Then, there is a space all about how we will communicate with each other. Using email and Weekly Reports, we will stay in touch on the regular. That will be the backbone our year. Communication is going to be KEY and I wanted to set that up for the parents. Finally, I shared the important supplies I felt the students would need. Normally, these are things I would supply for the kids...but, again, these aren't normal times. So I am asking parents to have these things on hand. I also put a link to my Amazon wish list here. On this list, I asked for these same things with a note telling the parents that, if they can, I would appreciate donations of school supplies for those students in our class who are unable to get their hands on them. I will be able to distribute them that way. Since the information is on Google Slides, and I can edit it right there, if I change something or update information that is important for the parents, it will automatically update on my site. It is just so easy to do on Google! If you would like the templates (and all of the wording) I used, you can get them here. They are ready to go on Google for you. Finally, I included links to several websites where parents can go to help their children improve on various skills. I figured since they are always asking, I would include easy to use sites for the parents. OK...once again, I have talked A LOT here. So I will leave you here for now. Come back for Part 3 where I explain my Amazing Work section and our Classroom Library.

Educational games can be a fun way to engage students while also teaching or reviewing subject area content. These can include activities such as word searches, crossword puzzles, bingo games, flashcards, Jeopardy games, and more. There are lots of tools online that can be used to create such activities. One creative option is to use Google Sheets templates from Flippity. This is a free website that provides a wide range of templates that you can download, fill in with your own content, and then play online through the Flippity site. As an educator you can make these activities for your own use or for review games for your class. However, students can also use Flippity to make their own activities, which could be a fun alternative project for those interested. For example, a student could create a set of digital flashcards for the content being covered in a particular unit. See below for how to access the templates and then use them to make your own interactive projects. The Flippity Activities Begin by going to the Flippity website at: www.flippity.net Once there you will see a grid of thumbnails showing the wide variety of interactive games and activities you can create with Flippity. New ones are added from time to time, but as of this writing, the following templates are available: Flashcards - Add text, images, and videos to create a flashcard set Quiz Show - The Flippity version of a Jeopardy game Random Name Picker - Great for selecting a random student or creating random groups and teams Scavenger Hunt - Create your own "Breakout" style game Fun With Words - Make artistic versions of words Timeline - Create an interactive timeline Badge Tracker - Display digital badges earned by students Typing Test - Practice typing speed and accuracy with custom texts Spelling Words - Create spelling lists for students to practice with a variety of games Word Search - Make an interactive word search Crossword Puzzle - Generate a crossword puzzle from words and clues Word Scramble - Make word scramble puzzles from a list of words, including a final phrase to solve Bingo - Play online or print Hangman - Play five styles of hangman from a custom word list Progress Indicator - Track and display student progress, such as pages read Matching Game - Create a memory game with words and / or pictures MadLibs - Make a story for users to fill in with different parts of speech Mix and Match - Randomly combine words or phrases to make writing prompts and such Tournament Bracket - Generate a bracket from a list of 4 to 64 competitors Certificate Quiz - Make a self-grading quiz that generates a certificate when completed If you would like to try out an activity or game to see how it works, simply click the "Demo" link below the thumbnail. This will open the activity, loaded with demo content to test out. If you would like to learn even more about an activity, click the "Instructions" link to get a page with detailed information about that activity. Make a Copy of a Template Once you have selected the activity you want to create, you will need to make a copy of its Google Sheets template. Click the "Template" link at the bottom of the thumbnail for that activity. You will get a new window asking if you would like a copy of the Sheet. Click "Make a copy" and the copy will be created. When done, you will have your own copy of the template with demo content entered. Fill in your Content Now that you have a copy of the Google Sheets template for your activity, you will want to remove the placeholder content and insert your own. Delete the existing content in the template. Be careful to not edit any cells with a blue background, as those cells are needed for Flippity to function properly. Now add in your own text, such as for the clues and answers for the activity. Some templates support links to images and YouTube videos. Publish the Spreadsheet Once you have your content entered into the template, there is still another step needed before you can play the game or run the activity. At the moment, your Sheet is private just to you, so Flippity is not able to access your content. You need to publish the Sheet for Flippity to be able to use it. Click "File" then click "Publish to the Web". When the pop-up window opens, click "Publish". Click "OK" when asked if you are sure. You can close out of the pop-up window after publishing. Get the Link for the Activity You are now ready to try out your game or activity! Look at the bottom of the Sheet to find the table titled "Get the Link Here". On this Sheet you will find the link to run the interactive Flippity activity with your content. Click the link to open and run the activity. You can also copy the link and make it available to others so they can run the activity as well. Tip - If you plan to use a certain Flippity activity frequently, such as the Random Name Picker to group students in your class, you can simply bookmark the Flippity link from your spreadsheet (from the "Get the Link Here" tab). Now anytime you need to run the activity, you can just click the bookmarked link to launch it. Post by Eric Curts.
