Have you renewed your subscription for this school year? Renew your Agriculture or CTE libraries, and place your orders here. Schools are back in session nationwide, and we have put together a list of our top three back- to-school practices in MYcaert. 1) Copying Course OutlinesTeachers will copy a course outline, instead of creating a one, to separate the annual results from assessments. Copying course outlines from a previous year is a simple task. Under My Courses, select the course outline you wish to duplicate. On the course outline page, select the “Make a Copy of this Course Outline”. Next, you will rename the course outline for this year. You can make changes to this course outline- adding or deleting lessons. You can also reorder the lessons by selecting “Reorder Lessons in Custom Outline”. On this screen you can move the lessons by clicking and holding on the lesson you want to move, and dragging it to the slot desired. At the bottom of the screen, you must select “Submit” for the changes to take place. 2) Adding StudentsOnce you have created your cours(es), you can add students. We just made a major adjustments to the "Add Students" page that will help Google Education Schools. Review the single sign-on for Google users here. Simply add new students underneath the "My Students" tab. You may add up to 15 at one time. "Manage course rosters" underneath "My Students" to review all your students are in the correct courses. 3) Assigning EUnits- Updating Assigned DatesIf you reuse a course, instead of making a copy, this is important. Under "My Students", select "Maintain Assigned E-units/PPTs". On the following screen, select maintaining E-Units or PowerPoints. The process is the same for each. Next, select a course in the box provided. Finally, remove the assign and due dates and click "Save Updated Status to Assigned/E-Units or PowerPoints".

Have you renewed your subscription for this school year? Renew your Agriculture or CTE libraries, and place your orders here.At the start of a school year, it is important for you to be prepared. In order to feel most prepared using MYcaert.com, we are sharing some recommended practices to ensure a smooth transition into the school year. 1) Create courses 2) Adding students 3) Assigning materials 1) Create Courses If you are new to MYcaert.com, and are unfamiliar with the various ways of creating courses, review this previous blog on Creating Course Outlines. Perhaps you would like to reuse course outlines from last year, you will simply "Make a Copy of Course Outline". Follow these simple steps: Under My Courses, select the course outline you wish to duplicate. Upon the course outline page, select the “Make a Copy of this Course Outline”. Upon the next screen you will rename the course outline for the second semester. In this example, I used “2nd Sem 16-17” after the original course name. You can now make changes to this course outline. You can delete the lessons you’ve already taught, along the right edge of the course outline. You can also reorder the lessons by selecting “Reorder Lessons in Custom Outline”. On this screen you can move the lessons by clicking and holding on the lesson you want to move, and dragging it to the slot desired. At the bottom of the screen, you must select “Submit” for the changes to take place. 2) Adding Students Once you have created all your courses, you can add students. We just made a major adjustments to the "Add Students" page that will help Google Education Schools. Review the single sign-on for Google users here. Simply add new students underneath the "My Students" tab. You may add up to 15 at one time. "Manage course rosters" underneath "My Students" to review all your students are in the correct courses. 3) Assigning Work Review the User’s Guide, pages 18-19. - Assign/ Maintain E-Units and PowerPoints It all starts with a course outline. You will need to build one in order to assign E-units and PowerPoints. For additional help, you can see a short video tutorial here. You can also add customized dates and assignments to student calendars. For example, you may have assigned a project for students in a specific course. The calendar will allow you to add important deadlines, and important documents for the student(s) to view, in the Custom Calendar. This option is also found underneath "Assign E-units/PPTs to Students". |
