Announcements in Canvas
The bell just rang and you have things you need to tell your students so that they can get started but you also need to take attendance, answer one student's quick question, and, and, and.... It's a wonder class ever gets started!
Let's make this problem worse! You've made the same announcement in all six classes, or have you? Have you ever noticed that by the time you taught something three times, your are getting faster at it? Is that because you are getting better or leaving important information out?
Let's let the "Announcements" feature in Canvas help. This can be a place that students go to as soon as they get to class. You can put important information via text, videos, and links in an announcement that students need that day so that you can take attendance. This can also be helpful for students that absent from your class, in the recovery room, or just new to your class. Below is a video on how to use the "Announcements" feature in Canvas. If you have any questions, stop by the library and we would be glad to help.
