Screen set ups: Just a reminder: If you look at the top right of your screen, just to the right of the url, on the toolbar, you will see 4 icons: scissors, feather, glue, and a dictionary
Along with the dictionary and the feather’s screenshot functions, two of the add-ons we used last year have been pushed out to all of us: the scissors and the glue.
One way to use our existing curriculum or enhance instruction, while also practicing SBAC style formats, is to utilize split screens. Split screens are a great way to increase use of text based questions. This view will allow students to see, navigate, and use both screens at the same time.
These add ons help us easily provide multiple sources for student to read and process as well as provide them the practice reading text and responding to questions on devices that they requested.
Many already use this format but here are 2 ways you can try it on your device and with your students.
Clicking on the scissors allows you to select the leftmost tab that you want to split off into another browser window. The tabs on the right will split off to a new window.
Clicking on the glue bottle icon will put your screen view back to one window
An additional way to enable a split screen view on your Chromebook:
1. Press “Ctrl” and “n” to open a new, additional window.
2. Press Alt+. to shrink or grow that new, additional window.
Place your cursor over the vertical edge of the screen to expand or decrease a screen in order to have both screens visible including the important scroll bars.
Using splint screens can help our students meet the following Common Core State Standards:
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text.
Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the course of the text.
Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.
