Group Meet Slides

I generally create templates of the lessons I’ll use for each class.  The templates might include:

• Schedule
• Rules
• Intro activities (for some classes I use a stretch/warm-up, others it is a game, challenge or question of the day)
• Class activity (I embed a theme-based lesson here)
• End of class activities (this may be dance videos, drawing videos, a wrap up/check-in Google Form, another fun activity, points check-ins, etc. depends on the class!).

Check out this video for the routines and activities I have set up for one of my classes

Individual Meet Slides

Similarly to group meets, I set up a deck of Google Slides for individual instruction meets. The slides will generally start off with the basics (rules & anything they may need to gather for class).  Then there will be an intro slide & links for each of the goals I plan to work on that day. I LOVE using, even MORE, Google Slides activities that I can work with the student in the same slide/see their real-time performance. I also do include things that I simply share on the screen for them to look at or as prompts for staff.

Here is a video overview of how I am doing this as well. 

SIDENOTE: I also LOVE the number of prompts I can embed into slides within seconds if a student is struggling. One day I shared on Instagram that I embedded a number line for a learner on the Files by Year goal and guess what, I did that in less than a minute during the session by simply asking the student to stop and wait, adding in a text box and then typing the dates in sequence to be used as a reference. So text boxes are awesome for this as well as adding a circle (with the center transparent) or a bright colored arrow to show a student where to find information.
