Week 15: New Tool: Grid Fix
Grid Fix
Grid Fix is a Chrome extension that I have been using frequently when meeting with students virtually. Since this is a Chrome extension, it is free and can be accessed easily from the tool bar.
Benefits of Grid Fix:
I began using Grid Fix because I could not see all of my students' faces/screens when meeting with them virtually due to the large number in the meeting. I then installed Grid Fix so that I could see up to 48 students at a time. This has been beneficial for me during instruction because I can easily see all students and monitor if their hands are raised, or if they are struggling with concepts based on their facial expressions.
Changes to future instruction:
While continuing to use this in the future, I will eventually have all students add this tool to their tool bar so that they are also able to see everyone during our Google Meets. This will allow them to see their classmates and I all at once instead of only the speaker.

ReplyDeleteI think this extension was placed on all of our teacher accounts. I love being able to all of my students. Although at the age of 7, I would rather my students focus on my at times instead of the cartwheel their classmate is doing.

This is so cool! I have never heard of this before and it sounds like a wonderful way to get to see all your students when you are working with them virtually! :) - Ashley Dockery
