Working with your Class Space in SpacesEDU

You can use your Class Space to post newsletters, homework, pictures from field trips and other information for parents. It is a fabulous way to communicate with families and share what is happening in the class.  You can allow parents and students to comment if you would like but you can also turn this feature on and off. These posts would be considered what was previously called celebration posts.  Portfolios posts will go in the 1:1 Spaces.
