Teachers | Student Set up | Student Use

Don't judge... This is a work in progress.
Teachers PLEASE give me your ideas on HOW YOU want your students to organize THEIR paper!

Before Students use please do 1-3!

1. Pre-Organize your content/paragraphs

Have your students create ideas on how they are to organize their papers so they can ADD tags when we get started.  Tags are ways student can sort their sources and add to their documents.
  • TAGS
    • Ideas for all papers? - introduction, evidence, conclusion
    • Topic specific? date, country, location, age, kid, adult... race, politics, rights... before <date>, after <date>, pro, con,
  • Have instruction on how students should Annotate (some consistency is good!)  I do NOT know what is best I just have ideas!
    • Highlight (colors can be options too) - relevant content to quote in paper.
    • Underline - dates(?)
    • BOLD - People
    • Re-color text - red = con, green = pro
  • Minimum number sources?  Have a lot. You/they do not need to use them all!
  • Min - Max annotation types?

2. Create a Scrible Classroom

​Currently we are discovering that it is much better if teachers create their own class (in Scrible) and share the class code... Instead of integrating with Canvas.  There are syncing issues.
  • Click on Classroom
  • Click on Create a class (follow the prompts.)
  • I think it will work best to create 1 class such as "Honor English".  NOT one for each period
  • Then add sections for each period of that same class. Call those sections "Period 1A, 3A etc.".
  • Once you get the code for each section) PASTE that code in Canvas... And/Or put on the board.

3. Create your assignment

Click the Assignment tab and  "Create assignment"
  • I would assume "Research Paper"
  • You must have all fields fill out. 
  • Only create 1 assignment and add it to the sections created above.
  • Just found you cannot add the assignment to different classes.  So duplicate the assignments and add it the section.
  • *going off memory here and things change - but I think you'll get the general idea.

After they have content!

Seeing Progress

To see your students work and their "Scribles"...
  • Click on Classroom
  • Click on Assignments then the individual assignment you want to view.
  • View progress.  You should see summaries of the assignments from the whole class.
  • Click a name to see details
  • Click view students scrible to see their actual content just as they see it.

My .02 worth

Canvas Integration

Sidebar link? - Don't add it. It creates about 5 frames is too hard to see actual content.
Integration has not been working very well.

Student Metrics

THIS - Is why you use scrible! You should see
  • Pie charts of your students source types
  • Their sources (links) and their annotations
  • You WON'T see their actual paper - It is a Google doc that can be shared.

Get your students their upgrade code

I am honestly not sure if they need it but here is how to get it!  (It gives your "students" the pro verion)
  • Go to your name (top right) click on settings.
  • Click the Classroom tab. Read what you need to the click "Create"

Suggestions (all depends on YOUR assignment)

PLEASE send ME YOUR ideas and suggestions!  This page is NOT for me it is for ALL!
  • Assign color codes for items.  Paragraphs, Bios. Hobby.
  • Require a few tags to get the students to get organized.  life, career, introduction, evidence, conclusion,...
  • Minimum items?
    • 5 sources
    • 5 notes on each source
    • 5 quotes on each
      • Note that in their research paper they do NOT have to use each source they have saved.
