While we would all prefer the traditional delivery of lessons and class work, it seems now we need to rethink how we can continue to encourage learning from home. It can be a daunting task for teachers to navigate the various technology available to reach our students. So, for those of us who are tackling the digital learning curve,  here are some neat tips and tricks for assigning classwork in Google Classroom along with some great tutorial videos whose accounts you can follow for regular updates. 

Have you purchased a PDF file (secured with a password or not) and found yourself stuck with splitting the pages that you want to assign to your students for distance learning? For example, if you have purchased any one of my Math Mysteries, the PDF file contains both the student sheets, answer sheets, teacher instructions, and printable awards. Obviously, you don't want to be sending the entire file home to them. So how do you split these secured documents to contain the student pages only? Continue reading this post for a simple solution to this common issue.   

With the many school closures, and the sudden high demand for distance learning solutions, I'm working on turning the printable math and reading mystery worksheets into Google Slides for digital completion and easy sharing with your students. I hope that with these updates, you will be able to assign these mystery tasks via Google Classroom to your students and they can complete on their computers without having to print.

I am adding these updates to existing mystery packets so that if you already own the printable mystery worksheets, you won't have to purchase the digital mystery worksheets again. 

Please note that these digital worksheet updates are different to my CSI Digital Math Games full of graphics. These new distance learning updates to existing mystery packets are giving you the same printable worksheets with a digital text box overlay on Google Slides to enable completion without the need to print. 

In this post, I will:

• Highlight which mysteries I have updated so far and how to retrieve them if you already own them. 
• Provide a free sample so that you can trial and test.
• Provide some support information for common troubleshooting issues experienced with Google Slides.
