Yes, Your Work WILL NOT Be Lost

This Friday Five helps answer some FAQs from the last few weeks. 

Happy Reading.

Don't forget to look for the Easter Egg.

Questions:

1. "Will I have to re-create everything I have put in Canvas this year, next year?"

NO! You will be able to copy all of the material from your courses this year into the PowerSchool created shells for the 19-20 School Year. The shells will be available once PowerSchool is rolled over from this school year to next school year. This typically happens in mid-July. 


2. "Where did my assignment go? I lost it when I deleted the date from the calendar?"

If you delete an assignment (quiz, discussion, etc.) from the calendar, you are deleting the item. If you just want to remove an item with a due date from the calendar, but preserve the item, edit the item and remove the due date or unpublish it. The item will then be saved, but won't be visible on students' calendars. 

3. "I accidentally deleted a (Quiz, Discussion, Assignment, Page). How do I get it back?"


Go to the home page of the course that you lost the item in. Add /undelete to the URL for the course. A list of deleted items will appear and select "Restore" for the item that you want to recover. (Kudos to Jon Edwards, HS English, for being the first to figure this out!)

4. "I need to give a student another attempt on a quiz. Is there a way to give another chance to just one student?"

The easist way is to go to "Moderate This Quiz" when in the editting area of the quiz.Then click on the Pencil icon next to the student's entry. From here you will be able to add an extra attempt. Here are complete direcitons. 


5. "Why should I go to 21st Century Learning Night?

Because it is the biggest celebration of learning in the district. Each year over 800 people attend to see examples of innovative teaching and learning that happens everyday within our district. With over 50 teacher exhibits, you are sure to be amazed and inspired by what you see. The first five people to email me a smiling emoji will get a Canvas prize. For more information about the event, check out the webiste.  


21stCLN is on Tuesday, May 28 from 6:30-8:30 at Pennridge High School.
