I teach over 500 students a week. I often use exit tickets, which include both typical and modified assessments. To assign students to one or the other, I have created "modified" and "non-modified" sections. However, this requires me to go to each student individually to add them to one or the other. Is there a quicker…

When a student submits a Google Doc to an assignment in Canvas, Canvas converts the document to be read in Canvas Doc Reader, but changes the format of the References page's hanging indent. Is there any work…
Good Morning! We are seeing issues with the majority of our LTIs external tool assignments this school year. The issue is that the submission status does not change now for EdPuzzle, NoRedInk, NewsELA, Formative, etc, after a student submits. It will change for some after a teacher grades, but not all. It is incredibly…
