9.23.16-Apps, Speedgrader, Groups, Course Images

Five tips of the week…
  1. Did you know there is a Canvas App? Here are directions for iOS and for Android. Once downloaded use pennridge.instructure.com to search for the school.

  1. Did you also know that there is a Canvas SpeedGrader App?  Here is a document with information on the iOS and Android versions.

  1. Speaking of SpeedGrader, have you tried it out yet?  Checkout this introduction to this time saving feature of Canvas. You may never grade by hand again!

  1. FAQ- How do I use Groups in my courses? Groups are smaller versions of your course which students can use to collaborate on a group project or assignment. They are great to use for projects, especially when you are collecting one assignment from the whole group. Here is a document that includes introductory info on how to use Groups in your course.
  2. Finally, under the category of not important, but fun….Look at the Professional Learning Course on your Dashboard. Notice anything different? You can now add images to your course tiles. Students still have the ability to control the color overlay so they can differentiate between your course and other courses on their calendar. Here are directions on how to add a picture to your course tiles.
