10) OTHER NOTES:
After you share a document with the students, you can ‘unshare’ through the original document’s share tab (if you have given edit permissions)
In the upper right hand corner, you can change to see up to 25 of the most recently edited documents in the student account
You can also send a message to all students or have all students open a new tab in the upper right hand corner of the “Remote Control” option. If a student’s computer is not appearing here, it is because they are currently not connected to the internet and are probably working in an “offline” mode.
