Post Announcement

You can post announcements to your class on the class stream. Announcements are posts with no assignments. You can use them to give notices or reminders to your students. Announcements appear in chronological order. If you want, you can move an older post to the top.

You can draft and schedule announcements and control who comments or replies to posts. If a student turns on notifications, they’ll get an email when you post an announcement.
