 * //What are the benefits of Actively Learn?//**

//**Here is an Example of an Actively Learn we created.**// =**You will need to sign up as a student the password and username is (keclyma@ncsu.edu) and (Teacher1)**= https://read.activelylearn.com/#student/classes/63196/assignments

//**Actively Learn Activity #1**// **Create an Actively Learn account**. Let's begin: 1) Upload an article from online, a PDF, or a document from google docs. You can also select a pre-loaded text from the Actively Learn Library. (These often have questions and notes embedded already.)

 2) Annotate the text for students by creating notes. Highlight the text, then insert video clips, photos, phonetic spelling, definition, or any other type of notes. 

3) Add questions to the text for students to answer, checking for comprehension. You can identify the Common Core Standard that the question focuses on. (Certain file formats only allow you to add questions at the end of each page. Google docs can include questions in the middle of the text as well.) 

4) Assign the article to a class you have created or leave it unassigned in your 'Work Space.'

5) Students create their own account, then connect to your created class and assignments with a pass code.

6) Students can then complete the 'assignment' (reading the text and answering the comprehension questions).

7) The site includes a grading and score feature. As well as a way for you to add comments to student answers.

//**How can I use Actively Learn in my classroom?**// Student Example #1: Clyma imported a text and one of her students told her where to put in notes and what to write. The child also came up with all the questions after reading the story herself. This is her creation: https://read.activelylearn.com/#student/reader/92081/notes

Student Example #2: After I imported a text into Actively Learn, a student from my class read through the text on her own. She then went back through the text adding notations for word meanings and questions to find a reader's comprehension. To view her creation, go to https://read.activelylearn.com/#account and enter the username **wgpearson1** and the password **student**. Click on the Henry and Mudge //The Picnic// assignment.
