Turnitin Plagiarism & Grammar Checking Teachers sometimes set a regular Canvas assignment to use Turnitin for plagiarism and grammar checking. If they do, here's a Student Guide to Turnitin's Canvas Plagiarism Framework. Other times, teachers may require students to submit an assignment to Turnitin via Canvas. If they do, here's a Student Guide to Turnitin submissions via Canvas. | Frequently Asked Questions for Parents Will teachers using Canvas also still use PowerSchool?Yes. PowerSchool is our Student Information System (SIS) and will continue to be used throughout the district. The table below gives information on the functions of each system.
How is Canvas “better” for checking student learning?PowerSchool excels at student information while Canvas is better for communicating student learning. For example, using Canvas, parents have the opportunity to see the assignments and other events teachers in ALL courses create in Canvas, all posted to ONE calendar. With many of those assignments, you can verify that your student did, in fact, submit work and even WHEN it was submitted. You can also see the assignment directions and expectations. You will also be able to view future assignments posted on Canvas.Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course and a calendar of assignments. Like students, Observers cannot view a course until it is published and the course has started. For assistance with Assignments, Test Dates, Quizzes, or other Canvas course content, please contact your child’s teacher.
