Some of the knowledge I learned reinforced many things I already knew. This video will be helpful in September as I never seem to remember how to create a classroom even though I have done this for several years. Ha! Exporting a class from Power school is always tricky for me. I need to remember to archive classes from year to year. This will prevent former students from accessing the stream. One new piece of knowledge was turning off the class code so it cannot be shared and only the students who belong in the class are allowed to join. Removing a student is important to remember when students leave. I loved the suggestions for the various things that can be done on stream. I usually only add a message, but I like the idea of adding a photo, video, etc. I think it would be neat to post a “Photo of the Day”. I also like the idea of starting a class conversation. That is a nice way to get the students started working while I am getting organized. I love the way that the teacher can control the stream. Students can be restricted from commenting. Many times the posts of students are just nonsense.
