Suggestions for teachers to consider.

Screenshots

Students need to know how to post screenshots of their Geogebra work into LMS assignments and discussions.

         The process for taking a screenshot varies depending on the specific device. This skill is necessary for most of the LMS activities and it is something to be sure that all students are comfortable doing.

Links to Geogebra Classroom

The links above each lesson and practice assignment and discussion will need to be changed to take students to the Geogebra Classroom. The teacher will need to create a Classroom for each lesson and each set of practice problems and then edit the link on the LMS page.  If a teacher doesn’t create a Geogebra Classroom, students will still be able to use the Geogebra applets but their work won’t be visible in video conferencing sessions without using screen sharing.

Adding Assignments, Forums or Quizzes

Teachers can add assignments, forums, quizzes or any of the many LMS activities and resources.  (This is covered in SABIER professional development courses. )

Groups

The Talk to Your Teacher forum is designed so that every student is in their own group. This will need to be done by the teacher. This is done (in Moodle, it varies slightly in Canvas and Schoology) by using groupings -put each student into their own individual group with you as the teacher and then make a grouping of all those students -then edit the settings in the Talk to Your Teacher  forum and set the forum for that grouping only. This is done in the Common Module Settings of the forum settings. Then post the message for each student to reply to in each of the  individual groups. With separate groups as you have set, and with groupings, students will only be able to see their own forum and nobody else's but the teacher will be able to see all of them.,
