Below are instructions on how to use your Chromebook to read a QR Code.

Use a short song as a cue to alert students that it is time to pack up.  This is a great way to be consistent with your students in regards to packing up.  Students will be clear that packing up is not an option until the song is heard.  Having music makes it more fun for the students, using a song they enjoy, as it releases endorphins in their brains producing a feeling of well-being.

Effective September 21st, the navigational bar in Canvas will change directly impacting your course view.  The navigational bar will have eyeballs with a line through it to denote that these course navigational links are hidden from the student view as before they were grayed out.

Here is a video to demonstrate the change. 

If a teacher wants to hide a section from the navigational bar, they will still go to “Settings/Navigation and pull down the section(s) they want to hide.  Don't forget to select “Save” to make the changes go into effect.

Customizing your calendar view in Canvas makes it easy to manage entering due dates and scheduling course reminders for multiple courses.

Toggle between courses. Remember that you don’t have to navigate away from the calendar page to access all of your course calendars. In the sidebar on the right side of the page, click the color boxes to show or hide each course’s calendar contents. When the color is active [1], the calendar contents for that course will display on the calendar, and when the color is gray [2], the calendar contents are hidden.

Color code your courses. You can change the color scheme of the course calendar by clicking the three dots to the right of the course name [3]. Choose from one of the 15 default colors, or set a custom color by entering a Hex code [4].

Note: Changing the color scheme in the calendar view will also change the color of the course’s tile on the Dashboard.
