Teachers are able to distribute lessons and materials digitally. Also allows students to submit work that can be graded and a new feature also allows teachers to use a Rubric. Feedback can be given individually as well. Announcements can be posted for all students to see.
Excellent option for grades 3+ to communicate and distribute materials and tasks. Highly recommended to limit students being able to ‘post and comment’ (settings). See how to HERE.
For Classwork on the Stream it is recommended to Hide notifications so that students are directed to go to Classwork to find assignments so they are organized
Secondary teachers should Turn off the Draft grade for missing assignments so that it does not export to Infinite Campus as a zero
ONLY use the Stream page to post general comments and NOT assignments. The Stream is not meant to be where assignments are posted and it will get unorganized. There is no option to sort it, or make it so that every student gets a copy of an assignment.
On the Classwork page, set up Topics either by week or by unit in your class. Students can then filter by those topics at the top of Classwork
