Parent University

 

Are you interested in learning more about the online platforms that Parkway is using with students during distance and virtual learning? 

Parent University is a course created in Schoology, our district Learning Management System, that has information about Schoology, Google for Education, videoconferencing, and digital citizenship. Within the course you will find information that will help you understand the tools students use as well as opportunities for you to experience the tools from the student perspective. The goal of the course is to support you in feeling confident that you can help your child(ren) with online learning in Parkway. While you are welcome to explore the materials in any order, it would be beneficial to work through the Schoology folder first to learn how to interact with tools you will encounter in other folders. Follow these directions to enroll in the Parkway Parent University Schoology Course! Be sure to scroll down to page 2.

Parent Pointer: Viewing an Archived Course

Written by Kristen Harms// posted by Elegan Kramer

If there is an activity or assessment that you would like to view again with your child, but that course is archived, you can find the materials by following the directions below.

Students can view course assignments and managed assessments in archived courses but they cannot make submissions. Students may still view existing submissions in archived courses if permission to view submissions is enabled in the assessment settings.

Tips and Tricks for Organizing your Google Drive

How do you rename something in Google Drive? Do you right-click and select rename or do you select the file/folder and type ‘n’? Check out these tips and tricks for organizing your Google Drive. While the search feature in Google Drive is helpful and amazing, sometimes it may feel as if you are searching in a black hole. Time spent creating an organized structure for your Drive in the summer means having more time and energy during the school year for teaching. Depending on the state of your Drive, this could be a lot of work. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Take pride in even the smallest accomplishments!
