Seesaw Journal vs. Seesaw Blog
Please remember to turn off the password feature for your class Seesaw Blog. Melissa wants to be able to access these blogs from the campus website and they are not accessible if they are password protected.
To turn the password feature off...
- In Seesaw, click the wrench in the top right corner to go into your class settings.
- Scroll down to the Class Blog section.
- Click Blog Settings.
- Turn off the password protect feature.
Also...whenever you post something to the student journal, your connected parents will see it on their end. If you want any of those posts to also show up on the blog, you must click the blog icon underneath your post. A blue blog icon underneath posts indicate that it is also on the public blog.
On that note, be thoughtful about what you send to the blog since it is public.
Goals in STRIVE
Once you complete/accomplish your Professional and SLO goals in STRIVE, you need to mark them “Complete”. Once you do so, an email notification will go to your appraiser/evaluator so that he/she can “Archive” your completed goal.
For more detailed information on the Life of Goals in STRIVE, click here. (Please note: although it specifically says Professional goals, the information is relevant to both Professional and SLO goals.)
Lesson Plans...
Don't forget to click on each Monday's date in the calendar in your Eduphoria lesson planner. That enables the administrators to view your plans. If you don't click on the Monday (which makes it bold), your plans come up blank for them.
