Zoom Tips for Students

Zoom Instructions for Teachers

Seesaw Home Learning Setup

Grades 3-5
Students are able to sign in from home using their ISKL email address at seesaw.me. If you prefer that students do not see each other’s work during home learning, make sure to tap the wrench icon in your teacher account and toggle 'students can see each other's work' OFF. This way students can only access their own posts and are unable to look at other student work.

Grades PS-2
Students do not have access to their ISKL email. You can continue to share with parents and send work through them without having students post. If you want students to post work during home learning, they can sign in with Home Learning Student Codes.

Teachers can access these codes with the instructions below:

1. Sign in as a teacher from the WEB and tap the wrench icon. Home Learning codes can only be generated from a computer.
2. Click ‘Home Learning Student Codes’.
   
3. Print or Download codes to distribute to students. Each student will have a unique QR code and a 12-letter text code available as a PDF (one page per student). Teachers can get a new code at any time.
4. You do not need to change your class sign in mode.
5. Once signed in, a student will stay signed in for up to one year until they sign out. If a student code is compromised, please email help@seesaw.me to invalidate the code.

Video Instructions

Students can sign in with Home Learning codes with the instructions below:

1. If students are using tablet or phone devices for home learning, they will need to download the Seesaw Class App onto their device. They will need to have the latest version the app for home learning codes to work. Students can also access Seesaw from any computer at app.seesaw.me.
2. Go to the Seesaw Class app or app.seesaw.me and select ‘I am a student’.
3. Type in the 12 digit text code or scan the individualized QR code.

Letter For Parents (copy & paste)

Dear Parents,

We are preparing for the possibility of virtual learning. Part of this preparation is your child logging in to Seesaw at home with a Home Learning Code that I will provide for you. Once you receive the code, follow these instructions https://youtu.be/RRQrR21ZEuM to help your child to log in to Seesaw.

Best regards,

Virtual Learning

The return of the haze was an unfortunate reminder that we that we need to be prepared for an unexpected school closure. Our goal is that in the case of a school closure we are able to continue to make progress toward our learning goals even though the students are not present on campus. 

Most teams collaborated to create a Google Slide show with all of the information that parents and students would need to continue learning at home while the school was closed. The grade 5 example is a model that was very successful. I recommend that all teams spend some time in their next team meeting to set up a template for this year, so that we are ready. Last October when we had our first and only virtual learning day, we received a great deal of praise from parents on how we handled the closure. I credit our faculty's professionalism and preparation for this well deserved praise.

Julie Olson, ES Principal

As most of you remember, last year ISKL adopted a Virtual Learning Guide that outlines the expectations for teachers in case of school closure. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with this document, and also the ES Virtual Learning Guide for Students and Parents & the ES Virtual Learning Guide for Teachers & Administrators. 

The EduTech team will have virtual learning support sessions in The Den this week on Wednesday and Friday. The EduTech, Curriculum, and Admin teams are here to support you in preparing for virtual learning at Melawati. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or voice your concerns.
