Welcome to Teacher Dashboard PD. The first session focusses on Google apps, Drives and Docs which are a precursor to using Teacher Dashboard. Subsequent PD sessions orientate you with the features of Teacher Dashboard and will have you actively using it for your classes.

Each page in this handout has a screen shot to help you follow step by step instructions to help you navigate through this session on your laptop. Instructions are at the top of the page. You will have time to read as well as see me visually demonstrate on the Smartboard. Then you will have time to DO the task so what you learn is meaningful and more likely to be retained. Let's get started.

Hooray Gmail, click on Google apps icon again (grey rubics cube)6.Wednesday, 12 February 201410:01 PM



Select Drive. This is the storage place for all Google documents (Gdocs) on the internet (up above our heads in a trillions of tiny pieces)

7.




Hooray Drive. Click "Create" (left red rectangle). These are the Gdocs you can choose from to create. Googles competition to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel with some new ones too. These Gdocs are not stored on your laptop/ KCC folders but in a cloud up in the sky (internet)! Accessible anywhere with internet so laptop or KCC system issues wont lose them but an internet downage will prevent access temporarily. Another bonus... they update automatically, no saving EVER. Select Document.

8.




Create a Doc to share with your students eg. A verb table to be filled in. Click "Share" (right blue rectangle). Enter the email address of who you want to share this with, use the drop down triangle to set whether they can edit it (collaborate), comment or just view. Click "Share and Save" and then "Done".

9.




Your new Doc will be showing in your "My Drive" now. Well done. Now upload a pre-existing document from your KCC files to convert it into a Gdoc so that you may share it. Click red upload arrow, select "files".

10.




From your files select a document. I'm going to select "pictures", "open" and a science teacher image that I've saved prreviously. Choose a file that is useful for you to share with students. Click "open".

11.




Bottom right corner shows the file uploading and converting to a Gdoc on your Google "cloud" (stored on Google Drive on the internet). The original is still in your KCC folders, this is a copy. Click "share" (next to the uploaded file).

12.




Here is the image I uploaded, click "open" to view and share your uploaded file.

13.




Share your file as before- enter email addresses of the students you wish to share with, select their sharing privileges (can edit/comment/view). Click "share and save" and "done".

14.




If the email addresses are the ones you wish to share with, click "done". You can close this Doc or click on the "My Drive" tab (look up to top of the screen.

15.




Select the Doc you just shared and tick the box in front of it. You are going to move it to a folder for organisation. Select the "move to folder" icon (grey rectangle near top of screen).

16.




Select the folder you wish to move the Doc to, then select "move". If you have no folders yet. Click on the red "create" rectangle and select "folder" . Give it a name and you now have a folder in your Drive for your Docs. Go back to the previous steps to move your Doc into this folder.

17.




Now you are getting good at this...return to your Drive and click "Shared with me" (left hand side under My Drive) these Docs aren't those you have created or uploaded. These are Docs that are shared with you. Stasiu has already shared your Teacher Dashboard class folder with you here eg. Year Subject 2014 (11BIO1-2014). Find a class folder and click on it.

18.




In this folder you see all your students for that subject. These are their folders for your subject from their Google Drive ("shared with me"). They have been linked to you so you have 24/7 access into their folder for your subject from their Drive. No more lost homework/ laptop flat, hello student accountability! Very Big Brother/mother is watching huh! You MUST tell your students to put all their Docs for your subject in THIS folder otherwise you'll not be able to see and access them to monitor learning and give feedback to your students. Click on a student and look in their folder...there wont be anything yet but this will change...

19.




But how to share/ view Docs conveniently with these students so you don't have to go in and out of each folder repetitively….Here enters Teacher Dashboard. Select a new tab (look to the top of your screen.

20.




Click on the colourful rubics cube which is the icon for Google Chrome apps. Select the "Store" (white handbag). This is where you find Google Chrome apps to install and use (such as Teacher Dashboard).

21.




Type Teacher dashboard in the search bar and click "enter" on your keyboard.

22.




Select Hapara Teacher Dashboard (the top one) and click the blue rectangle "install now". It does not display on this page because I already have it installed.

23.




You now have Teacher Dashboard installed as an app. Anytime you need to get on select the colourful rubics cube Chrome apps icon on a new tab and it'll be here waiting for you. Later, you can also bookmark the Teacher Dashboard page to your favourites and pin it to the taskbar if you wish (click on the three horizontal lines, top right part of screen). Click on your Dashboard app.

24.




Just click "go" because you want to view the ww"stu"dents. 25.Wednesday, 12 February 201410:12 PM



You are getting close, select the class you with to view on Dashboard. This is the page to Bookmark to your favourites if you so choose.

26.




This is your Teacher Dashboard! Like the dashboard of a car, every student in your subject is on view at once as will be all the Docs you share with them or that they complete for the subject. Providing they place their Docs in their subject folder (eg. 9SCI03_2014) Easy access, accountability and formative feedback. The next PD session will orientate you with the features on this page, show you how to share Docs easily with a whole class at once, group students for differentiated learning, email whole classes/ individuals and formatively assess students to give feedback. Thank you.

If the student already has this Gdoc don't delete and replace it. eg. Smartcopying for a new studsent in your class who does not have the Gdoc.

Delete the current student copy of this Gdoc and replace it with this one. eg. You made a mistake and need to update a Gdoc. NOTE: student work on the old Gdoc will be lost too.

Whether to replace a pre-existing Gdoc with the same name or not. Hmmm to delete or not to delete???

14.




Review a summary of your Smartcopy before you click "start copy".15.Wednesday, 26 February 20148:04 PM

The shared Gdoc is there!! Now Smartcopy all FOUR of your different Gdocs (individual work, share read only (eg. assessment), share read-comment and share read-write (collaborative group learning).

18.




Task: Sort the students in your dashboard alphabetically, set your colour code for differentiated learning groups, set the number of Gdocs to view per student and filter to search for a particular Gdoc.

20.




Click "Class info" tab. See which students are in your class on Dashboard. Add/ remove students by entering their last UserID eg mccormackt2. Students will only be added if they are on the KCC system therefore liaise with Stasiu (send him an email with which student you have added).

23.




Click blue "share" and go back to your Dashboard "Class info" tab. Copy the class email list. Paste the email list into "Invite people" box. Decide using the drop down menu if the students can view only, view and comment or edit the document (collaboratively ONLY, this does not set up individual copies).
