Announcements
This newsletter contains information about announcements. GAVS policy states that you should have at least 1 announcement/week.
Announcements are pushed to students' and parents' phones and other devices depending on their notification preferences, so try not to send too many announcements or students will start to ignore them.
Setting up your announcements early is my #1 tip for feeling like your course is on autopilot. Then, you just need to focus on grading, live learning sessions, and keeping track of low-performing students.
Why?
Announcements are a great way to get information across to your students and personalize the course for them.
Possible News Announcement Topics:
- Due today/this week/tomorrow
- Embed weekly newsletters

Tips and Tricks:
