Creating Your Canvas Sandbox(es)
You need to create a sandbox for each course you teach. It is here that you will build out your content. You may also collaborate with other teachers through your Sandbox. Creating content in your Sandbox will ensure you don't lose any created content in case there is ever a glitch with Canvas and/or Skyward.
Cross-listing Canvas Courses
Combine your different class periods of the same Canvas Course by Cross-listing them into one course. Be sure not to Cross-list different content into one course. Cross-listing MUST occur before student work submissions have begun otherwise, those submissions will be lost.
Copy Your Sandbox Into Your SIS Generated Course
Got your Sandbox set up and you're ready to copy it into your SIS generated courses for students to see? This video shows you how to accomplish that. Don't forget to Publish afterward AND to "turn on" that course's calendar by checking the course box in the Calendar section of the Global Navigation menu.
Create a presentation or graphic with buttons using Canva and embed in on your homepage. Watch the video below to get some ideas.
