English 2 Canvas Outcomes

English 2 is using Canvas Outcomes to track student learning on standards. Outcomes can be added to New Quizzes and Rubrics.

• What are Outcomes?

• How do I align an outcome to a quiz question in New Quizzes?

• How do I align an outcome with a rubric in a course using Rubric Enhancements?

• How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook to view outcome results in a course?

•  Students: How do I view my Learning Mastery scores in the Grades page?

• By default, Outcomes are set to 3 levels of proficiency. To better match district provided rubrics, I can change it to 4 levels in your course.

Canvas Reminder

As the first 3 weeks comes to an end this coming weekend, if you use 3-week single week lesson plan pages, don't forget to do these items this weekend:

• Update the Current Week link on the Home page

• Move the "Current Marking Period" marker on the Modules list

• Publish the new lesson plan page

Single week lesson plan users do these 3 things every weekend!

The first 3 weeks is the only 3 week period that is NOT also a grade reporting period.

Your Own Canvas Sections

If you have SpEd students in the (S) section that do receive modified assessments and others that do not, you can create your own sections to use for those classes. You will need to manually add students to the sections and make changes as rosters change throughout the year. Then when assigning assignments, use the SpEd sections you created to assign the non-modified assignment to the students who need it and the modified assignment to the ones who need that.

Students only see assignments that are assigned to them (and their section).

Turnitin Similarity Report Issue

There is a known issue with the new version of Turnitin's similarity report that it does not show the student name if work was plagiarized from another FISD student. To assist with this, you now have the option to use either the old or new similarity report. Look for the button above the Turnitin report on the right to switch between views.

Classroom Relay Troubleshooting

Just a quick reminder that if a student's computer doesn't show up in Classroom Relay...

FISD Chromebook

1. Update Chrome

2. Reboot

BYOD

1. Use FISD-BYOD SSID and log in with ID number

2. Update Chrome

3. Log into FISD Chrome account

4. Syncing with FISD Chrome account must be turned ON

5. Update operating system (Windows, Mac OS)

6. Reboot

If a student still does not show up, submit an Incident IQ ticket. Software -- Lightspeed Systems Classroom Relay -- Missing Student. Include that the student is showing up on the dashboard but after troubleshooting (list the steps completed) that their activity still does not show up in Classroom Relay.

Also, you can look to see if the student has an FISD Chromebook at home and highly encourage them to bring it to school to use in your class.
