Copying Content from Master Course to Skyward Shells
How do I move content from my Master/Backup to my Shells?
These steps work to move any Canvas content from one course to another (must be a teacher in both).
New prep? You need a new Master!
Where are blueprints? (Use General if yours is not there.)
Settings – More Options & Navigation
Make sure your settings are correct in your Shells. Super important & fast!

Takes one minute to do this!
Viewing the Gradebook by Class Period (Section)
For those of you who don’t want to grade all students from all of your class periods in one giant alphabetical list.
Publishing your Skyward Shells & Content
You must publish your up-to-date Shells by the first day of the course.
For your your 6th grade OR NEW students, here is a helpful Canvas set-up guide that you can print to post/handout or share electronically to ease their transition to Canvas.
This link goes to the Canvas created Student Guides where students can go to find help on a variety of Canvas needs. This would be a great link to add to the My Resources page in your Shell’s My Resources Module.
