Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.

All about LAYERS!

Layers contain the images, text, or objects that make up a layered file. They let you move, edit, and work with content on one layer without affecting content on other layers.

Layers are arranged in a stack in the Layers panel, which is usually located in the bottom right of the work area. If the Layers panel is not visible, choose Window > Layers.

In the Layers panel, click the eye icon to the left of a layer to hide its content. Click again in the same spot to reveal the content. This is a useful way to remind yourself what’s on a particular layer.

A layer must be selected in order to make changes to it. In the Layers panel, click once to the right of a layer name to select that layer. To add more layers to your selection, hold Control (Windows) as you click other layers.

Learn Layer Basics

Change layer order, create a new layer, change layer opacity, and delete a layer.

Click the Create a New Layer icon (+) at the bottom of the layers panel to make a new layer. This layer is transparent until something is added to it.

Drag a layer up or down in the Layers panel to change the order of layered objects in the image.





To name a layer, double-click the current layer name. Type a new name for the layer. Press Enter (Windows) .

To change a layer’s opacity, select a layer in the Layers panel and drag the Opacity slider located near the top of the Layers panel to make the layer more or less transparent.





Add images to a Layered design!

Add images to a layered design

Choose File > Place Embedded, navigate to an image file in File Explorer (Windows), and click Place.

Hold the Shift key to avoid distorting the image, and drag the corners of the image border to resize the added image.

Drag inside the border to position the added image where you want it.

Click the check mark in the options bar to finalize the placement. This automatically creates a new layer containing the added image.
