What are Live Worksheets?
Online learning is nothing new, but it is getting more and more attention during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Live Worksheets is a long-standing learning platform, it is for teachers that can create assignments or use shared assignments for students to work on without an account.
However, Live Worksheets does provide a feature to create classrooms to manage students and assign assignments to their students.
How to use Live Worksheets:
In the article, Digital Experience will provide a brief guide on how to create assignments and participate in the classroom.

– After all, click Save to save.
Once saved successfully, you can check the exercise, get the embed code in your website/blog or add it to your workbook.

Live Worksheets is a good learning platform, especially when it comes to supporting a lot of Vietnamese exercises. It is a pity that the website is quite heavy and quite confusing at first use. Hopefully, Live Worksheets will improve the interface and optimize the web.
