TCCA went virtual and global! We had educators from 43 states and 22 countries that attended TCCA this past weekend! We had 11,635 impressions for the sessions on YouTube!

The DLS team is already busy planning for next year's TCCA!

Look for your campus DLS's Office Hours on your Google Calendar. Pop in if you have any questions or issues, or just to say hi! If the office hours don't work with your schedule, email your DLS and set up a one-on-one. These hours will not be set for a specific day or time. Each DLS will add office hours to their Google calendar and invite their perspective campus.

We have completed an entire grading period and many teachers are unpublishing work from prior weeks for the purpose for organizing. This makes those materials unavailable for students to back and review them as needed. One train of thought is to must disable submission instead. They way, students who want to review a previously taught topic, can.

*note: you can't lock assessments, you will have to disable those to prevent students from submitting.
