A1 Sequential Order is important when it might be a blended lesson or where Ss are going deeper in a lesson #canvas4elem

MrsTMercer - Moderator Mar 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: When you need video to be viewed or text read before next part of mod. #canvas4elem Could even be used with Sight words or math facts.

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: At the start of a cyber course making sure ea.S reads "About This Course" info w/ grading policies, T contact info, etc #canvas4elem

In reply to @sjtsmith1203, @DrFloraIndy

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I am thinking of science. Having the students see, hear, and listen to stages of growth lends itself to sequential order. #canvas4elem

MrsTMercer - Moderator Mar 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I agree self paced modules so Ss are not jumping through #canvas4elem

This is why I love Twitter chats, any time & any where learning and engagement #canvas4elem

In reply to @MrsTMercer

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

These sequential modules also help with badging. #canvas4elem

lefentshoe Mar 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: I make students finish module 2 to unlock module 3. This prevents MASS confusion for student &parent. Workflow is easier. #canvas4elem

HallmanQCSD Mar 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Could possibly use sequential ordered modules for centers. Gives Ss steps to stay on track #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 It can be used to require participation in a discussion board before doing an end of unit quiz in a module #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Permission forms "blanks" 4 joining band/chorus. Ps/Gs can print if lost original #canvas4elem

HallmanQCSD Mar 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2- prerequisites for learning the content then test on the content after #canvas4elem

MissBenner19 Mar 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

R2 I'm using the 'done' button 4 an accountability piece.Then they know quickly if they completed certain pieces of the module. #canvas4elem

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I wonder if assigning groups separate parts of the module in a jigsaw fits here? Then the discussion can be the report out? #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Using requirements to deploy badges when requirements are satisfied and Modules are marked "complete" #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

most certainly! easier and helps to keep them accountable #canvas4elem

In reply to @lefentshoe

MrsTMercer - Moderator Mar 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: links to helpful websites. Articles on how to help their child. Haven’t done yet interested to see responses. #canvas4elem

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

HW help videos and how to' guides are great for parents. Embed those YouTube, Kahn, and curriculum newsletters. #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3 - I have some teachers that have linked Google Docs for Class Pictures this could be turned in a module #canvas4elem

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Parents could take polls that are linked to pages as well. That community engagement is critical #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:32 PM EDT

These can be REALLy helpful for Ps to find all in one easy-to-find spot, Tony. #canvas4elem

In reply to @tcarty4kids

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Are parents are set up as an observer role so they can't access assignments so it would have to be Google Form #canvas4elem

I actually have a resource page for my parents #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Question 4 coming up in 1 minute… #canvas4elem

lefentshoe Mar 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4 MODULE homepage ALLLL the way. We all have to have the same homepage at our school though. I think it REMOVES a click. #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

#canvas4elem

MissBenner19 Mar 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

R4 home page is in Am attendance so I use buttons to link to modules in other subjects #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

is this page in a module for parents Kathy or maybe linked to from your front page? how do Ps get to it? #canvas4elem

In reply to @MissBenner19

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4-Links to module on the start page allow for Ss to select and go to different modules and it is visually appealing #canvas4elem

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Front Page as Home page. More flexibility to link anywhere in course. #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4-Module as a front page allow for quick and streamline access and it doesn't take a lot of time to create graphics #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4 - Both #canvas4elem

HallmanQCSD Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4- I like to add directions or contact info along with my links to modules on the front page. Like a welcome page! #canvas4elem

tcarty4kids Mar 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Front page with linked graphics by far. This start people where you want and then gives them options! #canvas4elem

MrsTMercer - Moderator Mar 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: You know I’ve done both. I almost prefer modules as home page. S’s figure out the format of @CanvasLMS pretty quick. #canvas4elem

In reply to @CanvasLMS

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

I find it best when I start the module with a directions page/objective page #canvas4elem

In reply to @HallmanQCSD

toddsilvius Mar 21 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: Glad to read this Q has some people on both sides. Keep the great discussion going! #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 - I tell Ts that they need to know what is going to work best for their Ss and how much time they want to invest into it #canvas4elem

MissBenner19 Mar 21 @ 9:40 PM EDT

R4 cont front page to link to anything is the way to go.... my opinion...#canvas4elem

HallmanQCSD Mar 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4- You could make 'buttons' to the different modules/units on your front page too using pics and hyperlinks #canvas4elem

MrsTMercer - Moderator Mar 21 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I’ve done this with Science lessons. Had buttons doe days 1-4. #canvas4elem

Rwakelyn Mar 21 @ 9:46 PM EDT
