Annotations: Schoology Assignments
Schoology feature: Annotations has now been added to the Assignments Material.
Annotations within an assignment allow you to attach Word Documents*, PDFs, and Images files to a Schoology Assignment. Each learner receives their own copy of the file and is then able to use the built-in pens, shapes, text boxes, etc. to markup the file directly in the Schoology Assignment.
This features works in both the Secondary and Elementary Experience of Schoology.
* You can save both Pages and Google Docs as Word Docs in order to use them with Annotations.

Increased controls and safety
Increased controls and safety
We’re adding new Meet features to make sure you have control and can manage your class:
Additional Meet controls: Admins can now control whether users in their organization can share their screen and use polls, Q&As, and whiteboarding to reduce student distractions and allow only teachers to use these settings.
Picture-in-Picture: To be able to see and manage your class while presenting, we added Picture-in-Picture in Google Meet. Hosts can now see up to four meeting participants while presenting and navigating different tabs and windows when running Meet on Chrome browsers.
Auto-transcribe Meet calls directly into a Google Doc: Keep a record of meetings with less storage than a recording and provide an easier way to edit, review, search and share lessons with students.
