Hi! Just a request as I share my screen – if the Teacher Tips could be shifted to a second screen that would be really helpful. Thanks! (Especially for trial classes when I may not have been able to prepare as thoroughly as normal.
Hi Roberta, thanks for the message. Unfortunately due to technical limitations this isn’t possible. I would recommend previewing the lesson slides and all trial class materials before class so you can read through the teacher notes in advance 🙂
Alternatively, consider using a teaching platform such as Zoom where you can temporarily “pause” the screenshare (which freezes the screen for the student) while you have a quick peek at the notes.
I hope this helps ~Katie
Thanks for the tips! Moveable teacher notes would be very useful – hopefully in the future!
