How will the students complete the assignment and send it to me?

First, you must enable item editing.

Your students will log on using the QR Code that you printed. They WILL NOT need to scan it everyday.

Here is what your students will see after they are logged on.

They will click on the 3 dots

Click on copy & edit

Click on their name. We will be Fake Student #1

Students can use the keypad and Emojis to complete the question. Then click the green checkmark TWICE.

Once the student clicks the checkmark it sends back to you. The parents CANNOT see their work until you approve it

Before you click “approve” you can grade the item by writing directly on the item, by leaving a comment, or by leaving an audio recording.

Today we will leave a comment. Then click post

After you post, click the X

Then you can approve it by clicking the green checkmark.

Once you approve the students’ work, it will go directly to their parents’ devices. The parents will also be able to leave comments/audio messages for their child to see/hear. All parent comments/audio messages Must also be approved by you before it goes to the student. You can click approve it or trash it.

Thank you!! Any Questions?
