Best Practices

Tip # 1

Try to get the email address of your students or their parents before the school year begins. This way it will be much easier for you to send your students a link to their course page when the school year starts.

You might also want to write a letter or email to parents describing how they can actively monitor their child's progress. If you will be posting homework notices or information about upcoming tests online, let parents know how they and their child can access that information.

Also, let parents know there is more information for them on this site including important tips about internet safety.

Tip # 2

If you have internet access in your classroom or computer lab, demonstrate to your students at the start of the school year what they will need to do in order to get started. (Show them how to log in, how to access the course page, how to bookmark etc.)

Tip # 3

Use an "enrollment key" to ensure that only the students of your class can access course material. You don't want strangers contacting your students.
