Setting Norms
Wakelet
Wakelet is a very convenient forum to use as an online teacher. It not only allows you to embed content from Google Classroom, Google Drive, YouTube, etc., but also is an excellent place to put up the norms that you have set for your classroom. Since Wakelet allows you to communicate with parents as well, it is easy to keep them informed about the norms for decorum in your class.
