GCS and Amplify Will Part Ways
I will answer any questions that I can when we have our PACE day on Jan. 19th during grade level meetings.
For now, it's time to start thinking about moving your Amplify Playlist elsewhere. The district strongly encourages you to use Canvas for this. We'll talk more about this on the 19th, also. Don't panic, though - Amplify is working on a way to make it as easy as possible to get all of your items from Playlist Builder.
