Any playlist can be shared and content can be copied or moved from one playlist to another.

I learned that I can use the All Groups filter to scroll through discussion updates quickly and help in grading.  I can also use the groups filter to break them up easily.

It also seems like there is a patch for adding tables, which would allow me to post rubrics in the discussion forum and in other areas.  This will be helpful for me to be able to post directly to eclass so that my students can see exactly how I am grading them.

I learned that I can add videos to any playlist and if I need to make changes to any that I have shared, it will automatically share those changes with teachers that I have shared my playlist with.

I learned that I can use various discussion topics topics for students to discuss "silently".  This will hold all students accountable for some level of participation.

I learned that I can add videos to a playlist and share them with whoever I want.  The new functionality allows me to copy the playlist easier, which could lead to even greater customization of the content for specific groups.
Also, it will be easier to find content since you no longer have to filter by media type.

I also learned that you can assign different discussion topics to different groups. I could use this for easier differentiation.

I learned that long answer assessments have been added to eClass and that short answer questions types will be added in March.

In the discussions and dropbox updates, I really like how it is easier to use the group discussions for grading and reading purposes. It requires less scrolling between each group.

I learned that creating and checking discussion groups and topics is now easier than ever, with less scrolling. I just created a new discussion on my eclass page and will assign it for homework this week.

I can use discussions with groups. I will probably try this for constructed response questions for Milestone prep. I can see this as an easy way to grade and give feedback. Would also be a great way of presenting them with exemplars.
I also liked the addition of feedback and hints to the assessment tool. This could also be very useful for milestone practice

New functionality now exists with Discussions! Users will find that there is less scrolling on the discussion list.  Instructors can now use the all new "all groups" filter  on the topic to view all posts.  This  makes assessing discussion topics faster because the instructor does not have to navigate in and out of the topics to complete an assessment.

It looks like Safari Montage is releasing four new features in April. I have not yet used Safari Montage, and I hope to be able to put these tools to work in my resource classroom soon!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that under the heading "Advanced Options", you may set the preference for students to automatically join a specific pre-determined group.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that any playlist I create can be shared with other teachers or with the district., but that it needs to be clearly named and labeled so other will understand what the playlist contains.

When exploring the assessment tool enhancements from last month I found that you can input a teacher e-mail in to alert you when students have submitted. I also liked the ability to quick link news items.

# data[].attributes.body
When accessing eClass updates, I learned that the discussion tool allows for the creation of groups, either manually or randomly assigned. This is useful, as students will not need to scroll as much, and I can monitor group participation. I will utilize the discussion groups with the single topic option for simplicity.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I can add videos to any of my playlists and share them with other teachers. I plan to incorporate more Safari Montage content in my lesson plans, and share them with my team.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that short answer assessment options have been added. Long answer is coming soon and I have downloaded the PDF to review this week.

I also explored the Safari Montage Playlist updates but have already worked with this feature. I reviewed the HTML editor and made notes of the work around if I run into the current bugs before they are fixed.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you can give discussion topics to different groups or you can have everyone respond the same topic and group the threads.

I also learned that you can now add feedback and hints to questions in the assessment feature.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there is a way ot do assessments in eCLass. I have seen Wells do this previously, but I have never known how to do it for myself. I now have the .pdf of directions on how to add an assessment directly to eClass for students to do when away from school (or as a bell ringer).

I also learned about sharing the Safari Montage across my curriculum group- make once and share with the group!
