TIPS FOR STUDENTS – TeachShare DIGITAL ACTIVITIES

Note: TeachShare’s digital activities platform is still evolving, so some tools (such as the Pen) are tricky to use, and some features (such as zooming in) are not yet available. As such, when assigning our digital resources to students, consider sharing these tips that we found helpful:

1. Crosswords: It’s best to use the Text Tool to type the answers off to the side, and then drag them into the puzzle frame. To begin, press CAPS LOCK on your keyboard. Then,
• For words that go across: Use text size 14 and hit the space bar between letters (drag in)
• For words that go down: Use text size 10 and hit the Enter key after each letter (drag in)

2. Word Searches: Use the “thick” Highlight tool to mark words. Use different colors for words that go Across, Down and Diagonally. Words will be easier to see, and it’s more fun!

3. Match-ups, Mazes and Dot-To-Dots: Use the “thin” Pen tool – and don’t worry if the lines are a little wobbly.

4. Puzzles with Hidden Messages or Images: The colors described in the puzzle instructions may not match the ones available with your Pen and Highlight tools. You will be able to see what’s hidden even if the colors you use are a bit creative!

5. Have fun: Don’t worry if things look a little “off.” The main thing is to do the puzzles, learn some new things – and enjoy yourself!
