  1. Sign in, stowe your other devices, log into a Chromebook, and go to WYAW (While You Are Waiting).

  7. Looking for media that has CC licences and that can or most likely can be used in accordance with Fair Use?
    Look for wikimedia commons and/or CC licensed material or .gov files since, in general, government files are in the public domain (https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/selected-internet/imagesources.html) including NASA (see here for more resources from NASA for educators https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html).

  8. Some good copyright friendly websites for VISUALS (images and video):

    1. Reflect on a topic or standard from your classroom's curriculum that might lend itself to visual content.
    2. Search one of the CC0 (copyright free) visuals websites listed above to find images related to your topic and download them to your files area on your Chromebook
    3. Go to Google Slides for your section and press the drop down menu next to the + to begin a new slidedeck (choose Blank, if possible)
    4. Insert your CC0 image on your slide in the class slidedeck
    5. Next, use the Tools menu >> Voice Type Speaker Notes to record text to go with your image for your students.
    6. NOTE: If you need to go elsewhere in the room or wish to use a headset to record, feel free to do so.
