October 28, 2020
Schoology: When using Schoology links in classroom assignments, students will see rectangle with a frown face/snap face. To bypass this screen, simply move your cursor up the screen to the blue letters and/or the square with the arrow coming out of the top right corner. Click on the blue letters or the square, and it will bypass and take you to the correct screen.
FlipGrid: Students should go to www.flipgrid.com and have a CODE to start the process. Enter the code, select the RED Microsoft box to login with your @stu.k12.wv.us account. Click on respond/response. At this point, students can now start filming. Press on the camera button to start/stop. If the student is satified with the recording, click on next. If the student wants to delete and do it again, click on re-do. If you want to resume, choose that option. Click on next. Take a selfie. Accept/Next or Re-do. Next. Confirm. Complete.
KamiApp: LCBOE recently purchased the licensing for the program. If students login with the @lewisboe.com (Google Account), the account should automatically shift from trial to licensed. If students used another email address for a login, students will have to re-create the account using the @lewisboe.com account as the licensed tied to the @lewisboe.com domain.
