The Single Screen view is one option for displaying student content in Sonday System Essentials K–5. Selecting this option maximizes the student-facing content on the instructor's screen while minimizing the instructions to an expandable, optional bar at the top. It is most suitable for classroom setups where a single screen is used for both teaching and to display student content, or where a single screen is mirrored or duplicated onto a larger display.
Notes
- The Single Screen option is only available for Essentials K–5. It is not available in Sonday System 1 or 2.
- Furthermore, the Single Screen view is only available in Essentials lessons, not in Science of Reading Warm Ups and Cool Downs. (To display Science of Reading activities, use either the New Window or the Follow Along display method.)
The features that are available in Single Screen view are:
- A drop-down view of the instructions for the current step.
- A drop-down view of the details for the class.
- The number of slides in the current step and which slide is currently displaying.
- A timer feature to count down the recommended time for the step.
To navigate the Single Screen view in Essentials K–5:
-
To view the instructor content for the current lesson step, click the Instructions drop-down menu and the instructions will expand; they will be visible to students as well. Close the instructions by clicking the X in the corner of the instructions box.
-
Click the Class Details button to view the list of students in the class, mark students as absent, change the display method during the lesson, or end the lesson from any step. Close the details by clicking the X in the top right corner of the details box.
-
Progress through the slides in the lesson using the arrows on the edges of the screen, the arrow keys on your keyboard, or a compatible clicker. If you're using the arrows on the edge of the screen, you will need to click the Next Step button to progress from one step to the next. If you're using the arrow keys or a clicker, you can advance to the next step just as you would advance to the next slide.
