The student orientation video will show students how to navigate in the program.
Model and set clear expectations. Show students how to work through each unit of instruction.
Watch the modeling instruction video for an example of best practices when showing students how to work in Classworks.

Practical tips for students working on Classworks instruction:

Use headphones
Read instructions on start screen (adjust language if necessary)
Watch the game tutorial video for help with how to play the game
Ask a friend
Ask your teacher
Print and post these best practices so students may refer to them regularly (available in sizes 8.5x11 or 11x17)!
