I learn that any changes you make to shared playlists will be seen by others who have access to the playlist. I love Safari Montage and use it a lot during instruction with SPED students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to use Safari Montage more in my class.  I know when I have used it in the past, the resources were somewhat limited based on certain units of study.

Last month they added a feature to dropbox which allows you to input your email address. This feature makes it so you receive a notification when a student uploads a file to the dropbox folder. I will use this once an assignment is overdue in order to let me know that it has been submitted rather than having to go back regularly in order to check whether or not it is there.

I learned that in April Safari Montage is updating and making improvements to their playlist.

I learned that I can make short answer question in the assessment section of eClass. I have not played around with this yet but plan on doing so in the near future.

# data[].attributes.body
General updates includes all the other topics.   This gives me one-stop shopping to see what is changing in e-class.  I already use Locker and Dropbox but now I see how I can use Dropbox for a writing platform in itself.

I can create a discussion group with my class with one topic per group or create one topic with threads separated by group

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that discussions can be grouped in threads and you can share and post to specific threads. This can be great for L.A. discussions, especially if I want to have several small groups of students discussing multiple topics

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that discussions can also be created for specific groups. I think this will be beneficial because students have the opportunity to continue group work outside of class, and the discussions do not have to be full class discussions. This will be beneficial for constructed response practice for math. We are working on writing the best answers we can, and this can give students the opportunity to give each other quick and easy feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
I constantly use the dropbox for writing assessments.  Instead of the students handing in paper, they can just type it.  This is also helpful for them because it gives them a "receipt" on an assignment already done.  As the teacher, it is also helpful for me in organization.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that each month updates were in eClass concerning group discussions, true / false and multiple choice, and short answer types have been added to the new Classroom assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
I will start utilizing discussion boards as homework to help my students improve their critical thinking skills. I learned that I can separate
discussions by threads.

I learned that there was a HTML bug when adding tables AND how to fix it. You do a search for the part that is causing the bug and then delete all. I didn't even know you could make tables, now I know how to make and fix them XD

# data[].attributes.body
I have used discussion boards in the past.  It is a great tool to not only check what they have learned, but also see the students collaborate with other students regarding the topics/unit.
I usually implement this tool depending on the topic.  It is very helpful for students because it gives them different perspectives on what others think.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the equation tool is updated. I am very excited about this because in the past I have not always used Classroom Assessments because it was challenging to insert an equation and actually see it!
I am planning on playing around the with equation editor and create some classroom assessments, where results can help me to individualize learning based on what students missed.

# data[].attributes.body
I reviewed the steps needed to create discussion boards in groups.  I would like to utilize this as a part of my review session on constructed responses.  I would like to use it next year as a way of implementing the partner step of the gradual release model.

I plan to explore Safari Montage playlist. This will hopefully provide students with opportunity to work at there own pace. I will look closely for content related to the writing and language AKS.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw that there is a bug in the HTML editor for adding tables.  There are two ways around it.  For me, the easier way appeared to be creating a table in word and copy and pasting it into the HTML Editor.  In order to make sure it copies correctly, be sure to paste it with the formatting if prompted. I also learned you can now create equations without just seeing the sigma sign.  It allows you to view the equation you created.

Since we are working on two way tables in math for the next unit, this will be useful for creating a class discussion about a two way table on eClass.  It will allow for students to discuss the two way table, and for me to create an example on eClass for them to review as an example before the assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
The discussion boards have been improved and have a different view. I am going to attempt a discussion post for a homework assignment next week.

# data[].attributes.body
I discovered that there are some new HTML/Textbox updates. There's a new button for Math teachers to use when entering equations. I also learned that the table option does have a bug, but the ways around that bug allows me to practice my new HTML coding skills from my Masters program. :)
Tables always come in handy for visual aids when working with my special needs students. Also, this semester in Science, we focus more on Math, so I can use the equation tool if needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I see that assessments are easier to create.  I am going to do some mini-assessments on AKS that were lower for the last 2 tests to get my students ready for the Interim.
