You may remember this image and topic from last year, but this information is worth repeating as we close out Semester One of the 2017-18 School Year! To further assist you as you begin the final semester,
here is the link to the start of the year checklist which has great reminders and tips for setting up your courses.
Grades in your First Semester Course- You will be able to continue to grade work and push those grades to Powerschool (if you are utilizing the grade push) until January 31. This corresponds with the grading timeline that Alice sent out. After January 31 you will have read-only access to your course material. This means you can see all of your assignments, files, discussions, student work, etc. but you can’t edit within the course. To edit the content you would need to copy it into a new course (see #2)!
Copy Course content to New Semester Course- If you teach the same course second semester you can easily copy all of your Semester 1 content to your new course. Here are directions on how to do this. Once again, here is the start of the year checklist which may be helpful as you set up your new semester courses.
Semester Course Content Next Year- You will also be able to copy any course content from a semester course (or Year Long Courses, too) into the PowerSchool created courses you will teach next year. Don’t worry- Your work first semester will not disappear!
Don’t forget to Publish Your Semester Two Courses- You must publish your second semester courses just like you did semester one. Here are directions.
Semester 2 Try Something New!- Please stop in and see me in room 307 if you would like to review how you have used Canvas in semester 1 and discuss ways to expand upon your use in Semester 2. Things to consider: collecting assignments through Canvas, Cloud-based assignments through 365 or Google, Discussions, Group Assignments, or Utilizing External Tools (Turnitin, CK12, Newsela).
