A teacher’s guide for the Groups lesson type in Snowflake MultiTeach®

What it does

The Groups lesson type presents text and/or photos in a grid that appears on the left side of the screen.

On the right side of the screen, place holders are arranged under group classification headings. Students drag items to the corresponding group category.

Students check their responses by toggling the Visible/Hidden icon located in the bottom right-hand side of the screen, which will provide them with a small checkmark on the cards. By using the “Hide/Reveal” button, located in the corner menu, students can move all of the target items at once to the correct locations.
