Parental Guidance
Blooket or Gimkit is used to review the lesson at the end of each class if we have some more time. Students do not require an account to be able to participate in the game. A link is sent into the chat box for them to join in the game. Sometimes, I utilize Youtube videos during class via screen share. YouTube links posted in the classroom for further studies are all embedded. Learners do not need to click on any external links.
Supply List
An optional worksheet is provided for students to use as we go through the lesson.
