What’s changing for back to school 2018?

New Classwork page—We created a page to make it easier to create, organize, and find work. You can now organize your curriculum assignments into units or modules, and reorder work to match your class sequence.

New grading tool—We created a new grading tool to help you save time grading. The grading tool has a built-in comment bank where you can save commonly used feedback. You can also easily toggle between student submissions when grading..

Copy and reuse classwork—We made it easier to set up and reuse a class. Now you can copy all topics and assignments from one class to another. All work is copied as drafts, so you can make modifications before posting.

Improved People and Settings pages—We consolidated information to help you get to what you need more quickly. You can view and manage co-teachers, students, and guardians on the People page. We introduced a Settings page for all class settings, so you have one convenient location to update class descriptions, display or reset class codes, manage and control how students post on the Stream page, and more.

Turn off notifications for a class—We heard that teachers often join each other’s classes as co-teachers to share content and teaching strategies. But, getting notifications for all activity in a class can get overwhelming. Now you can turn off all notifications for a given class.
