Koala Go

🐨Using Koala Go on Preply?

Like a lot of you, I prefer to use Koala Go over anything else, the problem is most teaching platforms have their own classroom software that they want you to use. I hate having to learn the ins and outs of each of these new systems.

I just got started on Preply and they have their own classroom software that I find kinda meh…  Luckily, once a demo lesson becomes a student you can use whatever classroom software you want.

But that still leaves the demo lessons to deal with. My first couple of demo lessons were not my best work as the tools were new to me and I hadn’t figured out how to organize my materials so things flowed nicely. 

I don’t know why it took me so long to figure this out, but I can just set up my normal Koala whiteboard/co-browser/playground lessons and simply screen-share that Chrome tab in whatever classroom software I am using.

Sure we miss out on all the interactivity, but I explain that to the student before we start.

It has worked great so far, my lessons are set up the way I like, I know the tools, and I don’t have to learn yet another system I never wanted to use.

So remember, anytime you have the ability to screen-share you can use Koala Go, not all of the interactivity but you can at least use the tools you are familiar with and the materials you already created.
