Welcome to the Updated and Review MVMS Blog

Teachers:
I let the blog go for awhile because our new network filter was blocking it.  So I am reviving it.
Look to the left...you will see important links to websites.
I will add more through the year.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 2016-2017 School year.

Canvas Help

Cameron Case at Hazel Green High School with the help of a few others from other school have put together to Canvas help Videos.

How to make one assignment for a course that auto-publishes at different times for different sections . . . in fact, you could do this on a per-student basis if you wanted to.

If you want to load a YouTube video to Canvas...
Here is a tip Cameron got from Emily and shared with HGES and LFES so far. It lets you put YouTube videos in Canvas without the iBoss filter giving you trouble.

Be aware that this is not automated. Cameron doesn't think this is THE solution, but it is A solution. If you don't mind the download/upload process, this works pretty well.
