Schoology Reminders and Helpful Hints
Helpful hints: Remember, it is best to work in your Personal Resources or Group Resources and use the "copy to course" feature. This way everything is stored in your resources from year to year. If you created content straight in your courses last year, don't worry! You can still get to your content. As soon as your classes are created, you can transfer content by accessing last year's courses in the archived section. Check out how to restore content from an archived course here: http://bit.ly/RestoreContent.
Remember to UNPUBLISH all content not needed for the first grading period.
IT Update
Just a reminder that the district has scheduled IT Updates for devices on Thursday, August 23rd. Updates will run automatically. If prompted, reboot your computer as soon as possible. Please turn on all Tablet PCs and desktop computers within offices and classrooms in order to receive the latest Windows updates.
