NOTE: XtraMath is allowed, but PSD Tech does not provide support for this tool. The following guide can assist you in troubleshooting issues that you may be facing, but beyond this we do not provide support. You will need to resolve issues yourself or reach out to XtraMath support.
XtraMath is an online program that helps students improve their math fact fluency.
* Teachers have to log in at XtraMath.org for it to automatically make student accounts (if a new student doesn't have an account, it is most likely due to the teacher not having signed in to Clever in a while).
* Students log in the same way teachers do.
1. Go to XtraMath.org and sign in
2. Sign In with Clever
3. If prompted, enter your school.
4. Log In with Google
5. If logging in as a teacher, you will see the student list (Class Report), but if logging in as a student, you'll see the "Welcome to XtraMath window".

Aliases: Hellofax, Dropbox fax
If you are receiving this, it means that you have already, or are about to, move to Dropbox Fax (formerly hellofax) for your faxes. The process is quite easy, but it is a little different than faxing with a machine.
For starters, you will send faxes by uploading them to Dropbox Fax and typing in the recipient's fax number when prompted.
Secondly, you may have a new fax number.
Thirdly, everyone on your fax team will get a copy of the fax sent to their PSD email box.
Common misconceptions:
You will not fax to an email address
Other entities will not fax to an email address
You will not create a Dropbox Fax account. One has been created for you.
You will not log in to Dropbox Fax with your own email address. You will use the one created for your office or your health room or counseling center if you are a larger high school.
Setting up the account:
Someone from the Tech Department will contact you to let you know the process has been started and what your new fax number is.
Office Managers and Health Techs will be automatically added to a distribution group for your fax team. They will then request any nurses or secretaries to be added from the tech department.
You will get an invitation via email to join our team at Dropbox Fax. The email will contain a link to activate your account. Please do so. We can't assign a fax number to your account until it is activated.
Activate your account and set a secure password. It is very important that when you activate your account that you do so using the email address of the fax group. This is the one associated with the fax group and was sent to you by the person at Tech Services. ([email protected] or [email protected] )
Once your account is activated:
You will send faxes by logging in to Dropbox Fax with the fax group email address ([email protected] or [email protected] ) and the credentials you set when you activated the account.
Sending a fax:
Log in to Dropbox Fax.com with the fax group email address (Sometimes search engines will take you to the parent company (HelloSign), but you can still choose HelloFax from the login drop down button).
Once logged in, you can use the simple on-screen buttons to send a fax or view a fax.
When your fax has been delivered (or fails delivery in the case of a bad fax number) everyone on your fax team will get a notice via email.
Receiving a fax:
Faxes should be sent to your fax number.
Dropbox Fax will receive the fax at one of their cloud-based fax machines and securely email a copy to the email address that you use when you log in.
Everyone on your fax team is a member of the group that will be emailed a copy of the fax.
If you are a member of the fax Team, you will receive faxes in your email mailbox.
You can then distribute and delete the fax as appropriate.
Changing fax Team members:
If you ever need to change who is receiving faxes, for example if someone goes on extended leave, just open a tech ticket and the help desk will adjust the team.
You must provide your new team member with the login information if they will need to send faxes.
What if I missed a fax because it was sent before I was added to the team?
You can always log in to Dropbox Fax and view all the faxes sent to or by your team until they are manually deleted.
What if I forgot the login credentials?
If you lose your login credentials, first check with the other members of your faxing team.
If your teammates do not remember the credentials, you can reset your password using the forgot password link in the login screen. This will reset the password for everyone on your team. Please communicate with your team if you need to reset the password.
Because this is a highly secure site, the help desk CANNOT recover your password or reset it. You must use the link in the login screen.

2.
Submit a ticket (https://psd401.freshservice.com/a/catalog/request-items/75) to Tech Services with the name of the iPad tub (example: EES Tub 1), the name of the app, and a link to the app from the Volume Purchase Program.

Submit a ticket (https://psd401.freshservice.com/a/catalog/request-items/75) to Tech Services with the name of the iPad tub (example: EES Tub 1), the name of the app, and a link to the app from the Volume Purchase Program.
3.
Then Tech Services remotely adds the app to the iPads. If you would like an app on a single iPad rather than a group of iPads, put the Serial Number of the iPad in the ticket. You can acquire the Serial Number in Settings or on the back of the iPad (super tiny at the bottom - magnifying glass might help).
Our warehouse manager makes a quote for those apps and will add to the ticket that information (if there is cost involved).
4.
Then you print out the quote and attach budget code and signature (if there is cost involved).
5.
Scan it and reply to the ticket in email (not in the ticket system - but in email instead) and attach it to the email. If you found free apps you want installed, you can just put the links in the ticket. Make sure to refer to the TUB Name in the ticket. If you dont know the tub name, then you have to reference the barcodes on the back of the iPads.
6.
Then Tech Services processes it on our end and installs the app(s) remotely.
Important Notes:
Some iPads arent in the JAMF system which allows us to install and manage apps remotely on district iPads. For iPads to be in JAMF they had to be completely reset by Tech Services. If you are unsure if your iPads are in JAMF please contact help desk.
An Apple ID is not associated with student devices. We have the ability to push apps out remotely to the student devices. Please do not add your personal Apple ID to a student device.
Sometimes apps wont work or even load unless the iPad has the current, most recent version of the iOS operating system (which in early 2018 is 11.xx iOS [mine is currently on 11.2.5 in Feb 2018]). Also true is the reverse - sadly, some older apps that you might use in your classrooms havent updated to be compatible with the newer operating systems. So, when staff go to update an iPad sometimes you might have an app deleted (automatically by the update process) and will no longer have access to it. You can always check back with the makers of that app to see if/when they plan to update it and go through the process of having it re-installed. Sad - we know. It just cant be helped with the updating game.

Aliases: teacher on leave, long term computer, substitute laptop
Long-term substitute teachers are asked to use the laptop of the teacher they are substituting for, as new computers from the Tech Department are not typically assigned for temporary positions.
To facilitate this, the teacher going on leave should ensure their laptop is available for the substitute's use. This procedure has been agreed upon with the teachers' union and applies to all school buildings.
The administrative staff at each school will help communicate this information to the involved teachers.
Once the substitute teacher receives the laptop, they should create a tech ticket to request a technician's assistance in setting up a local account on the laptop. This ensures the substitute can use the laptop independently without needing access to the original teacher's credentials or personal documents. | 2024-04-24T19:46:34 | 1,719,509,809,000 | 1,719,509,809,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

6,000,029,958 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | General Device Information | 1 | 2 | SWE Community Room Screen Sharing | 110 | This article covers how to share your computer screen to the TV's in the SWE Community Room.
The easiest way is to utilize the Apple TV. This will allow you to wirelessly share your screen. This will work with both district and non-district computers, but it has to be a Mac. Windows computers cannot share to the Apple TV.
The above photo is what the touch control panels looks like. This is how you turn the TV's off and on, as well as selecting the correct source.
In the above photo, you can see that 'Table Left' is selected, as it is highlighted blue. Both TV's (W. Display Power & N. Display Power) are already turned on as well (they're also highlighted blue). So to share to the Apple TV, ensure both TV's are powered on, then tap on the 'Apple TV' icon.
You should now see this on both TV's:
On your Mac, click on the Control Center icon. If you're on an older version of MacOS, you may have an AirPlay icon instead of the control center.
AirPlay Icon in top bar (Older MacOS):
Control Center > Screen Mirroring (new MacOS):
Then select SWE - Community Room
You may be prompted to enter a PIN code that is displayed on the TV.
Instructions for hardwiring via HDMI
This method can be used for both district and on-district computers. This method will also work with both Mac and Windows computers.
There are three HDMI ports in the room where you can hook your computer up to. One of them is near the podium, and two of them are underneath the row of fixed tables at the far end of the room. The procedure is mostly the same when connecting to all three.
There are three of these in the room. Plug an HDMI cable into the 'HDMI In' port. There is an HDMI cable + USB-C Hub in the board room for community use. The hub is labeled 'SWE Community Room'. They're together in the back right corner, right next to where the phone is located. Now, plug the HDMI cable into the hub. Plug the hub into your computer.
Now, you will need to tell the panel to display what is plugged into the respective HDMI wall port. As mentioned earlier, there are three HDMI wall ports. North Wall is the wall port right near the podium. Table Right is actually on the left if you're facing the fixed table in the back. Table Left is on the right, if you're facing the fixed table.
So when hardwiring, ensure the TV's are both on (Display Power should be lit up blue for both Displays on the touch-panel). Then, simply select Table Left, Table Right, or North Wall, depending on which HDMI wall port you're plugged into. Upon selecting the correct source (HDMI wall port) on the touch panel, you should see your computer's screen on both TV's.
Please turn the TV's off when you're done by tapping 'N. Display Power' and 'W. Display Power' on the touch panel. | 2022-03-17T16:57:40 | 1,710,753,098,000 | 1,710,433,155,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Sphere2 Tools Tutorial
This tutorial covers the use of Sphere2, an AVer document software, focusing on optimizing document viewing and interaction for classroom use.
Adjusting the View
Original Size: To expand the document to the full width of your monitor, click the button resembling a piece of paper with a circle on top (second from the left in the upper right corner), and select "Original Size." This option likely defaults to "Fit to Screen." You can rotate the document to the correct orientation by using the rotate feature, accessible via a purple-blue button.
Document Handling
Zoom In/Out: To adjust document size, you can use the minus (-) or plus (+) options. Note that zooming may only enlarge the document.
Flip and Rotate: This feature allows you to view more of the document by flipping and rotating it on your desk, enabling a better layout for viewing widthwise or lengthwise.
Focusing Tool
To draw attention to specific parts of a document, use the focus tool, which can be accessed by clicking the first button in the last tool group. This tool allows you to create a nice circle or other shapes around the area of interest. You can adjust the shape size, move it, and set the surrounding area to be semi-transparent. This is particularly useful for students with stimulation issues.
Shade or Blind
A neat feature for revealing answers is the shade or blind tool. You can pull it from the top or bottom, and even the sides, to reveal answers. This tool is found in the last tool group on the toolbar.
Resolution Adjustment
Changing Resolution: The resolution can be adjusted using the third button from the left, located in the upper right corner. This button offers different resolution options, varying in height and width, to find the best fit for your classroom. Experiment with the resolutions for optimal display.
Zooming: For closer inspection, click the purple and blue button to zoom in (+) and see more details. If the resolution isn't perfect, try different settings for a clearer image.
Image Adjustment: Besides resolution, you can also adjust light and contrast sensitivity for better clarity. This is done via the image adjustment tool, symbolized by a sun and contrast icon, located at the bottom left and right.

Aliases:
Courses are associated with grading periods in Schoology. At the end of the grading period, the course will be archived. The course will no longer display in the Courses list, making room for new courses. When a course is archived, Course Admins with permission to view archived courses can view the course in the Archived area of My Courses indefinitely.
Seven days prior to the end of a grading period, you may see a message at the top of Schoology with a warning that the grading period will end. In the course profile, you may also see a message at the top of the course with details regarding the approaching end-date. After the end date of the grading period, courses are not archived until a 24 to 30-hour grace period has passed.
If a course you administer has disappeared from the Courses, it may have been archived. See Help! My courses are missing! for other scenarios in which a teacher might not see courses in this area.
Important Notes:
No course content or enrollments will be lost during the archival process.
Students will be able to see Archive Course in the same way as instructors after the archived date.
Instructors can still enter grades in archived courses however, you will need to contact your office manager/registrar to updates scores in PowerSchool after the final grading date has passed.
Archived courses are not accessible from the Schoology iOS or Android apps.
To view archived courses:
Click Courses at the top of the page.
Click My Courses on the right.
From the My Courses area, click Archived to view past courses.
If you'd like to reactivate an archived self-created course and keep the same course material and roster of students for a longer period of time, extend the life of the course by adding a grading period. You may not reactive PowerSchool-created courses but may access the materials. Learn more: My course is archived - How do I extend the grading period?
If you are not seeing a course in Archived, check Deleted Courses. Please contact the Help Desk if you have a PowerSchool-created course that was deleted accidentally.

Events that occur more than once can be created with the Repeat option.
To create a recurring event:
When creating or editing an event, select a recurring option from the Repeat dropdown menu:
Note: The default recurring option for events is Never.
Never: The event is a one-time occurrence. Daily: The event repeats daily. Every weekday: The event repeats on the same weekday every week. Weekly: The event repeats once a week on the same day of the week as the original event. Monthly: The event repeats once a month on the same date as the original event. Monthly on the selected weekday: The event repeats once a month on the same day of the week as the original event (e.g. the third Monday of each month). If the original event date is not available for a subsequent month, the event will appear on the closest day to the original day of the month (for example, if the recurrence is set monthly for August 31st, the next month's recurrence will be September 30th).
Set a date to end the recurring event in the Untildrop-down menu.
Note: The maximum duration for recurring events is one calendar year. If you select an end date with a longer duration, the recurring event will automatically end after one calendar year.
Fill in the remainder of the event details as you would a non-recurring event and click Save Changes to complete.
Edit an Event
There are two methods in order to modify an existing event. You can edit the title, description, time/date of your events, RSVP settings, add content, formatting, and more.

Importing a Different Calendar into Schoology
You can import a calendar file from a different calendar tool - such as Outlook Calendar, Apple Calendar or Google Calendar - into your Schoology calendar.
Note: Importing a third-party calendar into Schoology is a one-time event. After the import, changes you make in that third-party calendar will not update the events in Schoology. All changes will need to be made directly in the Schoology calendar.
Step 1 Export the third-party calendar
To import a third-party calendar into Schoology, you will need to first generate an ICS file.
From your Outlook Calendar:
In Outlook Calendar, select a calendar to make it the active calendar in the view.
On the File menu, click Save As.
Type a name for the iCal file in the File name text box. A summary of the calendar name, date range, and detail level appears next to More Options. If you are satisfied with the summary, proceed to step 6, otherwise continue with step 4.
Click More Options.
From the Date Range list, choose the amount of calendar data to include in Schoology, or click Specify dates to enter a custom date range
Note: There is a limit of 1,000 events for the Schoology calendar. If you choose a large date range or select the whole calendar, your file may be too large.
Click Ok and then click Save to save the ICS file.
From Apple Calendar:
Open the Calendar App.
Click the File menu.
Select Export, then choose Export...
Name your calendar file and click Export to save the ICS file.
From Google Calendar:
Open Google Calendar. (You can only export from a computer, not a phone or tablet.)
In the top right, click the Settings icon and Settings.
Click Import & export.
Click Export.
Click Export to confirm. A ZIP file will be downloaded to your computer. If you open the ZIP file, you'll see individual ICS files for each of your calendars.
Step 2 Import the file to a Schoology calendar
Once you've downloaded your ICS file using the steps above, log into your Schoology account and follow these steps to import the file to your Personal, Course/Group or School Calendar.
To add these events to your Personal calendar:
Click Calendar icon at the top of Schoology.
At the bottom of the Schoology calendar, click Import.
Click Attach File and locate the ICS file you exported to upload.
Click Import.
You will now see the events from your external calendar appearing on your personal Schoology calendar.
To add these events to a Course or Group calendar:
Select the course or group from your Courses or Group drop-down menu in the Schoology header.
On the right side of the course or group, click the calendar icon in the Upcoming area.
At the bottom of the calendar, click Import.
Click Attach File and locate the ICS file you exported to upload.
Click Import.
To add these events to a School calendar:
Click your name as it appears in the upper right corner of Schoology. Select the school from the drop-down list.
From the school profile, click the calendar icon in the Upcoming area.
At the bottom of the calendar, click Import.
Click Attach File and locate the ICS file you exported to upload.
Click Import.

Aliases:
You can add a Zoom link to a specific day and time in the Event Calendar. Currently there is no way to create a recurring event and each event (date & time) would need to be added. Schoology is currently working to update this feature. But this is still a great way to have meetings listed in the Event Calendar of Schoology.
Video Transcription:
Donna Squires' video "Adding Zoom Meetings to Schoology Calendar" provides a helpful guide for educators on how to organize Zoom meeting invites within the Schoology platform. She demonstrates how to post Zoom meeting links in the Schoology calendar, making them easily accessible to middle and high school students who might be overwhelmed by multiple invites. The key steps include:
Creating an Event: Adding an event in the Schoology calendar and including details like date and time.
Adding a Live Zoom Link: Ensuring the Zoom link is clickable by placing the cursor at the end of the URL and pressing Enter.
Centralized Access: By adding Zoom meetings to the Schoology calendar, students can view all their upcoming Zoom sessions from different classes in one centralized location, aiding in better organization.
The video aims to simplify the process for students to access their Zoom meetings, reducing the frustration of managing multiple links and passwords. Donna concludes by inviting feedback and offering additional assistance.

Sharing Discussions
Click Here to see our article on Shared Discussions
You can share your ungraded discussion with other courses. This option is located in the Advanced options at the bottom of the popup window when creating a discussion.
Sharing the discussion will give the discussion a ShareID that other instructors can use to join their classes into the same discussion. You can also automatically share the discussion with your courses and sections.
Limitations of Shared Discussions:
If you do not see the option to share the discussion under Advanced, it is likely that Grading is enabled. Graded discussions cannot be shared with other courses.
You cannot share discussions after they have been created.
Shared discussions are not available across linked sections.

Reading Discussion Posts
Course admins and students see the discussion toolbar, which floats at the top of the discussion as you scroll through the posts.
The toolbar includes the following tools:
Post Count and Unread Posts
The Post Count displays the total number of posts and replies on the discussion. The Unread Posts displays the number of posts and replies that have been added since you last loaded the page.
Note: Opening a discussion on the mobile app does not affect the Unread Posts count. Posts that you read while logged into the Schoology mobile app will still be marked as unread the next time you log in to the web version.
Unread Posts are highlighted in orange on the right side of the post, such as in the example below:
Expand All and Collapse All
On very long discussions, you may find it useful to use Collapse All to make the page easier to scan and to find posts more quickly. Clicking Collapse All truncates all posts and hides all replies to each post.
To expand the text on a particular post, click Read More next to where the post is truncated.
To show the replies on a particular post, click View Replies below the post.
To display all posts and all replies, click Expand All.
Scroll to Top
When you are finished reading the latest posts by your students, you can quickly jump back to the top of the discussion in one click by clicking the Scroll to Top icon in the toolbar:
Formatting Posts
Sometimes, students opt to draft their discussion posts in another program such as Microsoft Word or another text editor and then copy and paste the response into the Schoology discussions post field. Copying and pasting can sometimes bring in unwanted formatting from another program. If this happens, encourage your students to use the new Remove Formatting button in the post field.

Grading Discussion Posts
Highlight User
Click Highlight User to filter posts by author. Clicking Highlight User displays a list of members in the course, accompanied by the number of posts each member has contributed to this discussion. The total posts appear in green, and the number of posts you have not yet read appears in orange. Students who have not yet posted to the discussion appear at the bottom of the drop-down menu under Not Submitted.
Selecting a student from the drop-down menu highlights all of the posts that student has created in this discussion, allowing you to see all of the discussion posts by a particular student at a glance.
Unread Posts
Discussions are one of the most dynamic course material types on Schoology. To help you stay organized and keep track of the posts you havent seen yet while grading students posts to a discussion, you can now see the number of unread posts on a discussion right from the Course Materials page. The number of unread posts appears in orange next to the discussions title.
Administering Discussions
Course Admins have a star icon next to their names on discussion posts. This helps students see at a glance which posts may be directions or feedback from the instructor, and which are from their fellow students.
To delete or edit students' posts:
Hover to the far right of the post and click the three vertical dots.
Click Edit or Delete.
Click Delete to confirm or enter your change and click Save Changes.
Grading
Students who have not yet received a grade for the discussion have the grading button and orange indicator next to their post.
Clicking the grading button brings up the grading window, where you are able to enter a grade and a comment for the student. This grade applies to all of the students' posts on the discussion, not just the one you have selected.

Video Transcript:
The video "Creating and Using Question Banks in Schoology" by Jonson (RVHS), uploaded on December 19, 2012, is a tutorial on how to effectively create and utilize question banks in Schoology. The video is 232 seconds long and covers the following key points:
Creating a Quiz Bank: A quiz bank is created in the resource area, either under personal resources or within a group's resources. Teachers can store numerous test questions here for later use in specific tests.
Sharing Collections: Collections like 'Quiz Banks' can be created and shared with other instructors who might contribute questions to the bank.
Adding Questions: Questions can be composed directly within the bank or existing quiz questions from courses can be imported.
Importing Existing Questions: To import questions, navigate to an existing quiz, go to the questions tab, and use the options button to add selected questions to the quiz bank.
Using Questions from the Bank in Quizzes: To create a quiz from the question bank, navigate to the appropriate course and folder, add an online test or quiz, and then pull in questions from the question bank. You can select all questions, choose individual questions manually, or have Schoology randomly select a set number of questions.
Finalizing the Quiz: After adding questions, adjust the maximum points for the quiz, and set other necessary settings like randomizing question order and making the quiz available to students.
The video aims to assist educators in efficiently managing test questions and creating quizzes in Schoology, thereby streamlining the assessment process. | 2017-11-13T01:19:51 | 1,710,753,088,000 | 1,710,447,241,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Aliases: period, grading period, grading columns, grades, feature flag, courses.
Issue: Teachers report that they can't set due dates (it is greyed out) for added grading columns in the Schoology Gradebook.
Solution: There are 2 parts of the solution.
1) All assignments have to have a Due Date. If you see assignments without a due date ask the teacher to set that.
2) The due date can be activated through a feature flag that is controlled by the Schoology support team. They are the only ones that can do that. So, have the Help Desk (or a Schoology Support Contact for the district) contact support and ask them to enable it for a particular school. This setting can be activated for individual schools or the whole district.
After Schoology support enables this setting, the due dates on a Gradin Column should look like this:

Information to know
Corresponding PowerSchool Courses are archived, not deleted, a few days after the end of the term or school year. Course tiles for the ending term will no longer appear in the drop down menu and will be moved from the My Courses > Current list to the Archived list. See Archived Courses for more information.
You do not need to do anything special at the end of the term/year to keep your courses or materials. You will always be able to access previous courses in the Archived listing.
Finalizing Feedback, Grading, and Reports
Finalize feedback to assignments and grades as needed. See Adding Feedback & Grade Comment for more information.
Use Bulk Edit to review and/or update publishing, category, points, due dates, and grading period. See Bulk Edit for more information.
Review and decide which assignments may need to have submissions disabled or locked. See Disable Submissions VS Locking Submissions for more information.
Check to make sure all grades are published and up to date.
You may have set some of your materials to Unpublished throughout the school year to prevent students from accessing those items. Unpublishing an item also removes the item from students' final grade report that is visible to them in Schoology. If you have unpublished an item to prevent students from accessing it, but you want the received grades for that item to factor into the student's calculated overall grade, you must re-publish the material(s). See Final Grades and Unpublishing Material on Schoology/PowerSchool for more information.
Careful: If you used the Copy Settings button to transfer the settings from a similar course, final grade settings are not copied with the Copy Settings option. The Final Grade settings must be configured individually for each course section. See Final Grades for more information.
Add grades for items not completed in Schoology. See Add Grade Column or Disable Submissions on Assignments for more information.
Secondary teachers, check to ensure grade data for assignments and final grades have correctly synced from Schoology to PowerTeacher Pro. See Syncing Schoology Grades with PowerTeacher Pro for more information and/or request support from a Digital Learning Coach through a Service Central ticket.
Exporting the Gradebook as a backup and/or to share with next term teachers is an option at the end of the term/year. See Final Grades for more information.
Grades added to Archived Courses after the term ends, will not be reflected in or synced to PowerTeacher Pro. Teachers would need to modify their data in PowerTeacher Pro.
Print Student Grade Reports as needed.
Optional Student Grade Reports can be printed on paper or saved and shared as a PDF as necessary. See Print Grade Reports for more information.
Review Your Courses and Prepare for Next Term/Year
At the end of the term/year, you may wish to save your course and its contents to Resources to allow easy access from a new course. See Save Courses to Resources for more information.
*Note tips for saving Google Drive Assignment Button items in Save Courses to Resources
Consider the following scenarios for steps on how to save and reuse your course materials:
Im teaching the same course at the same school again next year.
How do I save and reuse my materials?
Im leaving my current school/organization/department.
How do I share my materials with the instructor who is taking my place?
I am leaving my current school/organization/department.
How do I take my materials with me? Recording illustrating process
Cleaning up your My Courses list:
NEVER delete a course from the My Courses list. Deleting the course deletes it for ALL members. Instead, unenroll yourself from the course.
Schoology courses will be created and populated through PowerSchool in August. Students will appear in the Schoology course members list within 24 hours of being enrolled in PowerSchool.
You will be able to add or import content to courses from Resources or Archived Course once you see courses in the Schoology Courses dropdown or My Courses listing.
You can update and organize your material templates directly in Resources at any time.
*Note items in Resources are static, changes made to items in Resources are NOT transferred to that item located out in a course. If you make a change to a material template in Resources, you will need to re-Add to Course to see the update in the course.
You can copy grade settings from Archived Courses for consistency and to save time.
Save Rubrics for use in other courses
Archiving Staff Created Courses - The ability to create, edit grading period, and delete staff created courses is only enabled for short periods of time at the beginning of a term. You can archive a course by editing course info to a past grading period during the open time or submit a Service Central ticket.
Access to Groups and Support Materials
Grade Level/Department Groups in Schoology are a great source for standards, frameworks information and support materials. See Access Groups in Schoology for more information on how to join and leave a group.
If you no longer need to be a member of a Group, you can Leave this Group yourself, no need to ask someone!

Video Transcription:
The video "How Students and Staff Update their Schoology Password for Mobile App Usage updated March 2022" by Angela May, uploaded on March 16, 2022, provides a tutorial for updating Schoology passwords in the Peninsula School District. This is particularly important for students and staff who want to use the Schoology mobile app. The video is 227 seconds long and outlines the following steps:
Logging into the Portal: Students and staff must first log into the Peninsula School District portal. This step does not apply to parents.
Accessing Schoology: Once logged in, navigate to 'Core Tools' and select Schoology.
Profile Verification: Verify that the correct user is logged in, especially if the device is shared.
Updating the Password: Go to the profile area, then 'Settings', and scroll down to 'Account Password'. Despite the terminology, users aren't changing their password but rather informing Schoology of their existing Peninsula School District password for app use.
Entering Password Details: Users may need to enter their district password twice and submit it. This process syncs the password with the mobile app.
Mobile App Installation: After updating the password, users can install the Schoology app on their mobile devices (iPhone, Android, iPad, etc.) and should be able to log in successfully.
Notification Settings: Users can check the 'Notifications' section in Schoology to see if their mobile devices are connected.
The video is designed to help users in the Peninsula School District smoothly transition to using the Schoology mobile app by updating their passwords appropriately.

You are able to Publish or Unpublish items in Schoology. Publish items will be visible to students. Unpublished items are visible to course administrators but not students (members) and will be grayed out.
The Publish icon is a green circle located in the Options area of a material type:
Using Folder Availability
Folder Availability can be set to Published, Unpublished, Publish on start date, or Published during date range, giving you greater control over when the folder (and its material) is available to students. This way, you can create material ahead of time but keep it hidden from students until you are ready to cover the material.
If a folder is Unpublished, neither the folder nor its contents will be accessible to students. If it is set to Publish on start date or Published during date range, the folder and its contents will only be visible to students after or during the specified dates.
To adjust these settings, follow these steps:
Select the Materials tab from the left menu in the Course Profile.
In the folder that you wish to modify, click the gear icon to the right and select Edit.
In the Availability menu, choose Published, Unpublished, Publish on start date, or Published during date range.
If you choose one of the latter two options, choose the appropriate dates in the calendars in the Date row.
Click Save Changes to complete.
Note: The date and time of availability follow the user's time zone. If a student of a course has a different time zone than your settings, the folder will be available according to the date and time of the student's time zone. You can change your time zone in your personal Account Settings.

Aliases: Schoology
WARNING: Before linking sections for any course, please make sure you understand ALL of the information and results of linking sections. If this is the first time you are using Schoology, you should work alongside a colleague and/or DLI instructional facilitator or digital learning coach to ensure you have worked through all the possible pitfalls and are set up for success.
Linking Your Sections
If you use Schoology Enterprise, you have the option to link the sections of any course together. Course section linking is a great way to manage all sections of a course more efficiently.
When sections are linked, they all share the same set of materials and grade setup. This means you only need to create materials and set up your gradebook once, even when you teach multiple sections of the same course. Linked sections also have toggles you can use to switch between each section instantly, so you can keep the sections separate while enjoying a more streamlined workflow.
The linked sections feature was designed to improve the instructor's experience. Your students will continue to see and experience Schoology in the same way they always have.
Important Notes about Course Section Linking:
Depending on the settings in place at your organization, this feature may not be available.
Linked sections cannot be imported into Schoology, sections can only be linked after being created/populated in Schoology.
Schoology strongly advises against linking or unlinking sections once school has started, as it results in loss of grade data for child sections. When you begin linking sessions together, the master section is the one that you link other sections to. Those sections that are linked to the master section will set aside any existing materials, grade settings, and data. The child linked sections then replace any existing materials and grade setup with that of the master section.
If you need to unlink your linked sections at any point during the school year, be aware that if you separate two linked sections, only the master section retains the materials, setup, grades, and data. Scroll down to Unlinking Sections for additional information.
When you link or unlink sections, student assignment submissions in the child section(s) are not recoverable. As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you are prompted to download a CSV spreadsheet file containing all the grade data for child sections. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.
Requirements for linking sections of a course:
The sections must be within the same Course.
The sections must be associated with the same grading period.
Enrollment must be unique across the linked sections. There cannot be any overlap in the students.
The sections must have the same Course Admins.
Note:
You cannot link one set of linked sections to another set of linked sections. For example, if you have two sets of linked sections (English: Section 1, Section 2 and English: Section 3, Section 4), you cannot combine them to make one linked set (English: Section 1, Section 2, Section 3, Section 4)
The maximum number of sections to be linked is 10.

How to Link Sections
If you are a course admin who has the Link sections permission enabled by your system admin, and your sections meet the prerequisites outlined above, you can link your existing sections together by following these steps.
There are three different ways to create linked sections:
Linking Existing Sections Together
Click your Courses drop-down menu and and select My Courses. Steps 2-7 demonstrated below
In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the section you consider to be the "master section". If you have materials in both courses, the "master section" is the one that holds the materials and grades you would like to continue to use between the two sections.
Select Link Existing Sections from the dropddown.
Select the section(s) to link and click Next.
As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you must select to download a grade export file for each section being linked. See the "Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections" instructions below for details.
Select the file type to download:
As a Standard CSV spreadsheet.
As a CSV file that you can use to import into other systems, such as an SIS.
Click Download and Next.
Click Link Sections.
A warning message displays: "Materials from (section name) will not be copied into: (section name). Once complete, the sections will share: grade setup, materials, and course profile (of the destination section). Member enrollments will still belong to their respective sections." This means that the section for which you clicked the gear icon will be the master sectionthe linked sections will now all have access to and use the materials in that master section. This includes Course Materials and items in your Grade Setup (such as Grading Categories, Rubrics, etc). However, the original rosters of students when the sections were separate will remain the same after you link the sections.
Click Link Sections.
If the requirements for linked sections are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the cause of the issue.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Creating a New Course with Linked Sections
(This would only be used for courses you create yourself NOT PowerSchool courses. It is a highly unusual situation. Please contact DLI instructional staff before proceeding)
Alternately, you can create linked sections while creating a new course. To do this:
Click your Courses drop-down menu and and select My Courses.
Click the option to Create Course on the top right of the My Courses area.
Note: If you do not see the Create Course button, it may be because your System Admin has not enabled the permission to create new courses for your role.
In the Create Course menu, press +Add to add a linked section to the new course and section you are creating.
When the form is complete, click Create to create the new course with a master section and linked sections.
If you are unsure about how to fill in the Section Code field, check with your System Administrator to ensure your naming convention is consistent with other courses at your school. You can also learn more in this article on section code vs. section school code.
Adding a New Linked Section to an Existing Course
You can also create new sections that are linked to an existing course from the Course Options area of the existing section.
To create a new section that will be linked to an existing section:
Click Courses on the top navigation bar.
Select the section in the menu that you would like to make the master section.

Assigning roles within a course
To assign an override role to a member in a section you administer:
Navigate to the Members page of the section.
Click the gear icon to the right of a users name.
Select Make Admin from the drop-down menu.
At this point, the user is a course admin with organization-level permissions controlling what they can do in Schoology and this course section.
After the user is an admin, click the gear icon again.
Youll see a new option, Set Section-level Role.
Click on this to see the section override role options.
A pop-up appears showing the options to either keep the users organization-level role or to assign a section-level role.
Click Save to apply any changes.
Icons
In Schoology, the shield icon is used to indicate admin status in a course or group. However, if your Enterprise organization has enabled the Section Override Roles feature, you may see different icons:
The shield-with-star icon, indicating that a user is a course admin and their organization-level role permissions apply within that section. This icon also applies to group admins.
The blank shield icon, indicating that a user is a course admin with a section override role assigned in that section.
For example, in the screenshot below, the user is course admin with an organization-level role and permissions in Math 5: Section 2. In Math 5: Section 3, a blank shield icon indicates that a section override role is in place that overrides the user's organization-level role and permissions.
ASSIGNING SECTION OVERRIDE ROLES (ENTERPRISE INSTRUCTORS)
Follow
Section override roles give course administrators the ability to empower a co-teacher, teaching assistant, paraprofessional, or substitute teacher, to name just a few examples, with section-specific permissions that may be different than the global permissions they have with their organization-level role (such as teacher or student).
There are six default categories that cover many likely role scenarios:
Role Name
May be great for...
Edit Grades / Edit Materials
Co-Teacher
Special Education Co-administrator
Substitute Teacher (Long Term)
Edit Grades / View Materials
Teaching Assistant
View Grades / Edit Materials
Teacher Advisor
Grade-Level Lead
View Grades / View Materials
Principal
Mentor teacher
Student Teacher
No Grades / Edit Materials
Curriculum team
Office Managers
No Grades / View Materials
Paraprofessionals
Substitute Teacher (Short-term)
Tutor or Advisor
Visiting Teacher
Its important to remember that section override roles can both enable and disable permissions for users in specific sections.
For example, if a user has organization-level role permissions which allow them to Manage materials, but he or she is enrolled in a section with a section override role permission which does not allow them to Manage materials, then he or she will be losing permission to edit materials within that section.
Likewise, if a user has organization-level role permissions which do not allow them to Manage materials and is enrolled in a section with a section override role permission which enables them to Manage materials, then he or she will be gaining permission to edit materials within that section.
Note: If you aren't sure which permissions are available to a user based on their organization-level role, please reach out to your organization's Support Contact.

Aliases: Schoology
As a course comes to an end, you can save the materials you've created to your Resources. This enables you to copy your materials to future courses or share them with other educators.
Does this save a "live" version of my course or a copy?
Schoology Resources acts as a file storage area: When you save your course it creates a copy of the materials from your course to be used as a template for future courses. There is no sync between the version in your course and the copy in your resources. If you made a change in your course, this does not update the copy in Resources. This works the other direction, too; if you change the copy in Resources, that doesn't change the original in your Courses.
Think of your current course as a written notebook with all your lesson plans. You can take that entire notebook to the copier and make an exact duplicate of all your lesson plans as they exist at that time, and then file that duplicate away for future reference. But if you change your current lesson plans, the duplicate in your file isn't changed.
Save a Course to Resources
If you wish to reuse all the materials you've created for the course, use the Save Course to Resources option.
To save an entire course's materials to your Resources:
Navigate to the Materials page of the course you'd like to save to Resources.
Click Options at the top.
Select Save Course to Resources from the drop-down menu.
Select the Resource Collection in which you'd like to house your course content. If you haven't created a collection, you can add the course to your Home collection.
Optional: Select a folder within the collection to which you'd like to save your course material.
The Save as field indicates that your course materials will be saved in a new folder within the selected destination in your Resources. Within that folder, the materials remain organized in the same structure that was used in the course.
Click Submit to complete.
Important Notes:
Course materials are saved as "templates" to Resources. Other course-specific items, such as members, student submissions, the course profile picture, and calendar events are not saved to resources.
Depending on the number of materials in the course, it may take some time to save the course to Resources. In this case, you will see a message that reads, "Your large operation is currently being executed. You can access a list of your large operations from your Transfer History area." Check out this article to learn more about Transfer History.
If you applied Student Completion Rules (Enterprise only) to your course, the rules are retained when the course is copied to Resources. This also means that when you copy that course content into a new course section, the original rules and sequencing are still in place.
If you create Google Drive Assignment button items, you may want to attach the google file to the assignment before saving it. This will ensure you have the correct file associated with the assignment the next time you want to use it. You will need to re-attach the Google File with the Google Drive Assignment button once it is in the new course. See this for more information: <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span>
Save individual materials or folders to Resources:
If your course is organized into folders, you can save individual folders and their contents to Resources.
Navigate to the Materials page of the course.
Click gear icon to the right of the material or folder you'd like to save.
Select Save to Resources from the drop-down menu.
Select the Resource Collection in which you'd like to house your course content. If you haven't created a collection, you can add the course to your Home collection.
Optional: Select a folder within the collection to which you'd like to save your course materials.
If you are saving a folder, you'll see a list of the materials within the folder that will be saved to your Resources.
Click Save Copy to complete.

See attached for help doc on how to make courses in Schoology unique to your. class. This makes it very helpful to know which specific course (and which grading period course) you are working in.
* PSD Courses for students are created through PowerSchool. You should NOT change the "Course Name". Doing so will cause confusion in how the Course Name is displayed for others that are instructors and members of that overarching Course, and will also mess up the future PowerSchool sync.
Example; There are 4 teachers that teach Kindergarten in a particular building. ATTENDANCE KINDERGARTEN is the main overarching course with 4 sections (one for each teacher). If one teacher changes the Course Name to Mr. John Doe's K Kids, it will show as "Mr. John Doe's K Kids" for ALL the kindergarten courses at that school.
Instead, change the section name of the course. This allows you to create a unique ID for your course while not affecting other teachers. Please see Graphics below for further clarification:

Grade Setup is an important step in organizing and preparing your course. It will enable you to use the gradebook to manage and communicate the progress of learning with students and families if you choose to. Please see the different information for Elementary and Secondary.
General Information
The following is general information about the settings and functions of the Grade Setup tab. While you will want to be familiar with this section, please the specific information fro Elementary and Secondary at the end.
Use the Grade Setup area to adjust grade settings for your course. In this area, you can manage your Grading Categories, create scales and rubrics, adjust the weights of your grading periods, and enable Final Grade Settings for your student reports.
To access Grade Setup, click Grade Setup on the left side of your course.
Note: As a Schoology Enterprise district, you may not have edit access to all areas of this page based on the permissions in place at your organization. Please reach out to DLI Instructional Team with any questions.
Grading Categories
Grading Categories enable you to organize graded items in the course. At least one grading category is required in order for you to use the Gradebook. Common examples of categories include Classwork, Homework, or Quizzes. There is no limit to the number of categories you can create, and you can weight each according to your own definition.
To add a new category:
Click Add in the Categories area.
Enter a Name.
Select either Percent or Total Points as the category calculation method. Click here to learn about the difference between Percent and Total Points as calculation methods.
Use Drop lowest to automatically drop the lowest n grades within that category from each student's overall score in the course.
Click Create to complete.
Note: If you are syncing grades to PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to leave Calculate by as Total Points for each category for both weighted and non-weighted categories.
Tip: Click the star icon to the right of one of your categories to mark it as your default category for newly-created materials.
To delete a category:
Hover over the category you'd like to delete and click x that appears to the right of the category.
If there are any course materials attached to the grading category, you will be prompted to assign another category to those materials before you can proceed to delete:
Once the materials are attached to another grading category or there are no materials attached to the category, click Delete to complete.
Weight Grading Categories
After you have created at least one category, you can choose to weight the categories for your course by checking Weight Categories.
Enabling weighted categories displays a new Weight field next to each Category name. Enter proportional values into these fields to adjust the weight for each category.
Important Notes:
Grading Categories cannot be changed throughout the course without impacting all grading periods of the course. For example, changing the grading category weights for the 2nd Quarter will also change the calculated grades in Quarter 1.
Weights are relative to each other. You can view the Category's actual percentage value of the next to the Weight field. For example, if Weight Categories is checked, and I have four categories with a weight of 100, the percentage of each category within the overall grade is 25%.
If one weighted category has no graded materials associated with it, then the category's weight is evenly distributed across the other categories.
Note: If you are syncing grades to PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to leave Calculate by as Total Points for each category.
In order for syncing to work correctly between Schoology and PowerTeacher Pro, you will need to make sure Traditional Grade Calculations in PowerTeacher Pro have been set to Category Weighting. See this Guide to Schoology/PowerTeacher Pro Grade Set Up for more information on grade set up:
Edit Categories
To make changes to an existing category, click the category name. In the popup window that displays, you may adjust:
The Category Name.
The Calculation Method.
The number of low scores you'd like to drop from the overall calculation.
The weight of the category.
Grading Periods & Final Weights
The Grading Periods & Final Weights area enables you to view all of the grading periods associated with your course, as well as the weighted percentages of each grading period. Depending on the settings in place at your school, you may be able to add or remove grading periods to your course.
To add or remove a Grading Period, follow these steps:
Click Edit to the right of the Grading Periods & Final Weights.
Select from existing Grading Periods.
If there aren't any grading periods listed in your school, you can add a new one to the course by entering a title (SP2018 or 2018-2019 Semester 1, for example) and a start and end date.
If you don't see the ability to add grading periods to your course, contact a Digital Learning Coach for support.
Click Save to complete.
Note: Assignments, assessments, test/quizzes, or graded discussions designated as midterm/final appear in this area. These items can be given a weight, calculated as part of the student's overall grade, and can be viewed in the Final/Midterm Material Grades filter in the Grading Period drop-down menu in the Gradebook.
Final Grade Settings
Use Final Grade Settings to customize how final grades calculate and display to students. To adjust these settings:
Select the Scale under Final Grade Settings:
Numeric displays the final grade as a percentage.
A+/- displays the final grade as a letter (A, B, C, D, F, +/-)
You can also select a custom grading Scale in this area (see below for details).
Check Round Period/Final Grades to round grading period grades and final grades.
Click Save Changes to complete.
The Final Grade Settings area also includes the Control Grading Columns in Gradebook and Visibility Settings sections. Learn more about these settings in Grade Setup: Final Grade Settings.
Grading Scales & Rubrics
Create custom Grading Scales and Rubrics to grade your materials or apply them to your Final Grade Settings. Grading Scales map an alphanumeric value of your choice to a percentage grade (0-100), and rubrics enable you to score an an assignment, graded discussion, or test/quiz question based on several criteria.
Scales
In the screenshot above, a System Admin created the scales with the lock icons at the system-level in an Enterprise organization. Instructors cannot edit these scales.
Tip: Click the star icon to the right of a scale to mark it as your default scale for newly-created materials.
For the Peninsula School District, the Letter Grade Scales have been set up and locked to match the PowerSchool Settings. You will not have the ability to edit Percentage-based scales.
Note: The Numeric and A +/- scales are pre-populated for all Schoology instructors; you cannot remove these from the Scales list.

Important Information for Teachers
For graded materials to display in your students Overdue area, all of the following must be true:
Materials are visible to students. Hidden or unpublished materials do not appear in the Overdue area.
You have enabled Submissions for Assignments.
You have not locked Submissions for Assignments.
You have assigned the course material to a Category.
Course materials must meet these conditions to display in the Overdue area, to trigger Notification emails, or to be included in the Parent Email Digest.
Note: LTI and External Tool materials with due dates do not trigger Overdue Submissions because Schoology does not automatically detect submissions from external tools.
For more information on setting up Overdue Notification:
HOW DO STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS RECEIVE OVERDUE NOTIFICATIONS?
Overdue Area
The Overdue area on the right side of the homepage displays a list of materials that they did not turn in on time. It appears for students who have at least one item that they did not submit before the posted due date. Overdue materials are listed from most- to least-overdue, with the most-overdue item at the top.
Note: The Overdue area appears on the homepage only, it cannot be enabled at the course-level.
Overdue Submissions in Courses with Subperiods
If a course is associated to a year-long grading period that contains sub-periods ("1st Semester" and "2nd Semester," for example) and the student does not make a submission to an assignment posted in the first semester, the student will continue to see this item in the Overdue pane going into the second semester. This is because the course is associated to a year-long course with sub-periods and the course has not yet archived.
Notifications Settings
To receive email or text notifications for overdue materials, course members can enable the Course Materials Overdue option in the Notifications area. Select On in the dropdown menu to receive notifications for overdue materials in all your courses, or select Custom and choose the courses for which you want overdue notifications.
Note: While the item may remain in the Overdue pane, students and parents will receive only one notification per late material regardless of how long it remains unsubmitted. | 2020-10-05T15:22:21 | 1,710,753,093,000 | 1,710,262,583,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Unlinking Sections
Once you've linked sections, you can also unlink them. However, when you unlink sections, the materials, grades, and data will remain only in the master section.
Unlinking will only be possible within the first 10 days of a term. After that, please contact the Help Desk or a Digital Learning Coach for support.
Schoology does not recommend unlinking sections once the school year has begun or once student submissions have been made in the child section.
Note: When you link or unlink sections, student assignment submissions in the child section(s) are not recoverable. As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you are prompted to download a spreadsheet file containing all the grade data for child sections. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.
To unlink sections:
Click Courses at the top of the screen.
Select My Courses..
In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the linked sections.
Select Unlink Sections from the drop-down menu on the gear icon.
When you click Unlink Sections, you are prompted to select the section(s) to unlink, as well as the two options of what happens to the unlinked section(s). Make sure you are aware of the effects:
Unlink and restore original section restores that section to the way it was before it was linked. If it was an existing section with data, that data that existed before you linked the sections will be restored. Only the master section retains the materials, setup, grades, and data. In other words, any material created after linking sections will only be retained in the master section when you unlink. The child section will revert back to what it looked like before you linked the sections.
Unlink and move enrollments into an new section moves the students enrolled in that section into a new blank course - without materials or any other data. This action cannot be undone.
As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you must select to download a grade export file for each section being unlinked. See the Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections instructions below for details.
Select the file type to download:
As a Standard CSV spreadsheet.
As a CSV file that you can use to import into other systems, such as an SIS.
Click Download and Next.
Click Unlink Sections to complete the process.
Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections
When you link or unlink sections, the grade data for child sections is not retainedonly the student grade data for the master section remains visible in Schoology. The child sections are restored to how they were before the sections were linked or unlinked.
For this reason, Schoology strongly recommends against linking or unlinking during the school year; but we also realize that sometimes you will have link or unlink sections. For this reason, we've added a safeguard to ensure that grade data in child sections is still available to Course Admins: requiring a download of the gradebook spreadsheet for each child section when linking or unlinking.
Before completing the linking or unlinking process, Course Admins must choose from one of two downloads:
Standard CSV: Select this option to download a CSV file version of your gradebook. This spreadsheet is formatted similarly to how it is in Schoology, with the student names vertically and material titles along the top.
CSV for import into other system: Select this option to download a CSV file with more detailed student data. This spreadsheet is separated by columns for mapping purposes to use to import into another system, such as an SIS gradebook.
Grade Calculation Differences
There are several important differences in how grades are calculated between the two formats.
Standard CSV

Hidden or Unpublished Materials

Factors
Items with a factor are multiplied by that factor and then included in the final score.
Items with a factor are not multiplied by that factor before being included in the final score.
Weighted Categories

Be sure to consider these variables when deciding the file format to download.
Notes:
Ungraded items will not appear in the CSV.
Individually assigned items will be marked with a hyphen for students who were not assigned the item.

This article will go over the various teacher commands in GoGuardian.
To interact with student devices and guide students, select a command button such as "open tab" and then select the students you want to issue the command to. Alternatively, you can select one or multiple student tile checkboxes (in the upper left corner of student tiles), or click into a student tile, and then choose the command.
Here is a video overview of some of the commands, we will look at more below the video.
Monitor Using Sessions: Teacher Commands
Exclude or Include Student from Session
Exclude selected students from your Screens view without deleting them from your roster, then include them back when necessary.
The Exclude command allows teachers to exclude a student from their class session. This command temporarily hides the student from both the main classroom view and Timelines views (where browsing data is captured).
'Exclude' can be useful for students who are absent for the day, or those working on something outside of class.
Students can be excluded and reincluded at any time during a session. Please note that excluding a student is temporary and will not delete them from the class roster.
To Exclude One Student:
Click the 3 dots button in the corner of a student's tile.
Click the Exclude student button
To Exclude Multiple Students:
Click the Exclude from session button in the command bar.
Select All or check the boxes next to specific students on the following menu.
Confirm by clicking the Exclude students button.

Opening a Tab for One Student
Click the 3 dots button in the corner of a student's tile
Select the Open Tab button
Enter a URL in the Open Tab interface and click Open Tab
Note: Due to limitations of Chrome, the Open Tab command will not push the tab to a student's device unless they have a Chrome window open. If you see "no active tab" as a placeholder for a student's screen, ask the student to open Chrome, once you see an active tab, then send the open tab command.
Lock / Unlock Screen
The lock screen command will mute and disable all Chrome windows on your student's device. The command is designed to unlock at the end of the session, but if a student joins a new session before the first session ends, they will remain locked.

What are Scenes?
Scenes give teachers access to custom web-filtering rules during their GoGuardian Teacher class sessions. Scenes can be used to block distracting and inappropriate websites, or simply limit students to the websites they need for class. Scenes can also be used to Auto-Open select websites, and limit students to a maximum number of open tabs at once.
The following video demonstrates how to use and apply Scenes to help with classroom management.
Creating a Scene
Start by clicking the Scenes tab in the left column. On the main, Scenes page click Create List on either an Allowed Websites List, or a Blocked Websites List.
An Allowed Websites List, or "Allow Mode Scene" allows teachers to limit students to only the websites on the allow list. All websites and webpages that aren't explicitly allowed by the allow list will be blocked.
A Blocked Websites List, or "Block Mode Scene" will block all websites added to the list. All websites that are not added to the block list will be allowed.
Customize the Scene and Add Block / Allow Rules
After creating a Scene, customize the Scene by adding a name and, (optional) a color and description. Click Next to move on.
Please note: we'll be using an Allowed Websites List in this example.
On the following page, enter websites or individual webpages that you'd like to add and click Search. GoGuardian will search for the entered resource and provide options, suggestions, and recommendations of related websites to add.
Click Add on the website(s) you would like to add.
*Pro tip* adding websites vs. website paths and individual webpages. Scenes allow teachers to add in full websites, individual website paths and individual webpages. Students will then be blocked or allowed access to the entire website, or only the specified part of the website based on the type of Scene used.
Allow Mode Scene Example:
Full Website Allow: allowing Nationalgeographic.com will allow access to National Geographic, and all pages within National Geographic, such as nationalgeographic.com/history.
Website Path Allow: Adding only Nationalgeographic.com/animals will only allow access to the 'animals' path of National Geographic's website; the main website and other website paths on National Geographic would be blocked.
Individual Webpage Allow: finally, adding Nationalgeographic.com/animals/endangered-salamanders will only allow access to that individual webpage.
Please note that the same, yet opposite functionality applies for Block Mode Scenes for blocking full websites vs. only blocking specific website paths or individual pages.
Edit Scenes, Scene Options, and Sharing Scenes
Each created Scene (found in the Scenes section) can be edited at anytime by clicking the 3 dot, "kebab" menu in the same row as the Scene's name.
Scene options include, Renaming, Making a Copy, Editing (adjusting the block or allow rules) Set as Default, and Share.
With the Share option, teachers can share their Scenes with one another. The shared Scene can be used by any teacher who receives the share invitation, but only the original Scene Owner can make edits to the Scenes' rules. For more information on using Scene sharing, pleaser refer to the following article: Share GoGuardian Teacher Scenes.
Applying a Scene
Scenes can only be used during active class sessions, and can be applied in one of two ways: manually, or by setting a Default Scene.
To apply a Scene manually, click the Scene Applied drop-down menu and choose from the available Scenes list. The actively applied Scene, if any, will always be listed at the top as seen in the following image.
Default Scenes can be used to automatically enable a selected Scene at the beginning of class. To set a Default Scene:
Navigate to a class, click the Settings cogwheel, and choose Edit.
On the class Settings, under the Default Scene section, select a Default Scene from the drop-down menu and Update Classroom when finished.
Default Scene Tip *Important*
For teachers using automatically scheduled classes, please make sure to set a reminder to Archive your classroom at the end of the school, or remove the Default Scene. Automatically scheduled classes with a Default Scene attached can cause students to still be filtered even once the class has completed.
More Information and Scene Resources
For more information on using GoGuardian Teacher Scenes, including using auto-open tabs, setting tab limits, advanced filtering options and more, please refer to the following article on Using GoGuardian Teacher Scenes.
To learn about conflicting Scenes and how to resolve them, please refer to the following article on Using Scene Statuses.

Teachers can now actively manage students' website tabs to help them stay focused and on task by using the Focus and Make Active features. Please note that the Focus and Make Active features are supported on Chromebooks only at this time.
How does it Work?
In each student's Student Activity section (accessed by clicking on and expanding a student's screen view), applicable tabs will have an Actions button. The Actions button provides the following options: Make Active, Turn Focus On, and Make Active and Focus.
The available Actions options will depend on the state of the tab selected (more on this below).
Make Active can be used to move a student's Other-Tab (a tab that's not currently in use or being looked at) to their Active-Tab (the tab that's actively opened and being looked at by the student).
Please note that Make Active can only be used for tabs that aren't already the active tab.
The Focus feature helps keep students on task by setting an Active Tab to "Focus". While a tab is focused, the tab can not be closed and all Other Tabs will temporarily be hidden for the student. Please note the following:
Focus can be used for 1 webpage at a time, but does not allow focusing an entire website.
Focus will only persist during the class session. Tabs will become "unfocused" automatically once a class session ends.
Focus can only be used for a tab that is already the primary, Active Tab a student has opened.
Teachers can only use the focus tab feature on one student at a time, focusing tab for an entire classroom is not currently supported.
Make Active and Focus is a combination of both the Make Active and Focus features, and can be used to move a non-active tab to "active", and keep it focused for the student.
How to Unfocus a tab
To unfocus a tab, click the "unfocus" button in the lower corner of a student's tile in the Live Session view of a class.
Focus can also be disabled by expanding a student's screen view and clicking Actions > Turn Focus Off.
Open Tab + Focus Website
Teachers can now open a tab and immediately Focus the tab for individual students. To do this, expand a student's screen view by clicking on their tile, and click the Open new tab button.
Type in the tab to be opened and click the Focus Website toggle. Click "Open Tab" to finish opening and focusing the tab.

The GoGuardian Teacher Announcement feature allows teachers to send an announcement message to all, or individual students in a classroom.
How to Send an Announcement
To send an announcement, click the Make Announcement button in the Command Bar during an active class.
On the following prompt, select "All", or choose specific students to send an announcement to and click Next.
Write the announcement into the message box, and (optionally) insert emojis using the smiley face button before clicking Make Announcement.
Student Group Announcements
While using Student Groups, teachers can send announcements to each group of students, separately by clicking Make Announcement for group. Once sent, all students in the selected group will receive, and must acknowledge the announcement.
Individual Student Announcements
The Announcement feature can also be used for individual students by clicking on the students' screen view and then clicking Make Announcement. This option is useful for students who may need a reminder notification rather than a standard GoGuardian Teacher chat message.
Student Perspective
When an announcement is sent, all students who receive the announcement will see the message in a pop-up box with the name of the class at the top. Students must click the "Got it" button to acknowledge the announcement.

GoGuardian Teacher Chat allows enables 1-on-1 text communication between teachers and their students during a class session. Teacher Chat is a great way to help keep students on track by sending chat messages and answering questions; especially for students who may be reluctant to raise their hand.
When enabled, chat can be initiated by a teacher or a student, but students can only chat with their teachers - not other students.
Enabling Chat
To enable Chat at the beginning of each class session, set the "Start class with" Chat toggle to ON. Please note: Chat will need to be enabled manually for all classes that start automatically via the scheduled class, Calendar feature.
To enable or disable Teacher Chat during a session, navigate to the class Screens view, then click the Chat toggle to turn it on or off. Chat can be enabled or disabled at any time during the session.
Communicating with Students
Once enabled, you can open teacher chat by clicking the blue chat bubble in the bottom corner of the teacher dashboard. On the chat sidebar, select a student, then send a message. Students can use Chat by clicking the GoGuardian icon button in the taskbar at the bottom of their screen.

The two required GoGuardian Chrome Extensions (GoGuardian and GoGuardian License) are pushed out to any computer that is in our management groups as being in a Mac Lab, and not a Teaching Station. It's also pushed out to the ASL Laptops at GHH and PHS.
If a Mac computer in a Lab is missing these extensions, please submit a ticket with the PSD barcode and/or Apple Serial Number so we can get it updated.
If a Teacher Station computer is getting the GoGuardian Extensions and should not be, please submit a ticket with the PSD barcode and/or Apple Serial Number so we can get it updated.
Per GoGuardian documentation, Students must be using Google Chrome, be signed into Chrome, and have Sync turned on, for them to get the Extensions installed:
If not signed into Chrome, it will look like this:
1. Launch Chrome and enter email. There will be a GoGuardian pop-up that can be closed:
2. When redirected to ClassLink sign-in, enter portal credentials:
3. After signing in and enabling Sync - the following extensions should show up:
4. Students meeting the above requirements should now be monitorable. | 2024-10-04T23:21:00 | 1,728,084,062,000 | 1,728,084,062,000 | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

The reason being, we don't want to really advertise manually creating classes unless it's been requested. Technically, Teachers and Staff members can add Students that are at the School they teach, but not necessarily in their class(es).
The idea is to copy and paste this into tickets when this has been requested.
Examples of real situations where manually creating classes in GoGuardian can come in handy:
1. Teacher is trying to combine classes into one single class:
2. High School has a Staff member that works in the Office. There is a Student that spends a period in the Office with a Chromebook and they would like the aforementioned Staff member to monitor this Student.

6,000,034,404 | 6,000,837,079 | Technology | Google Admin | 1 | 2 | Allowing / Trusting Google OAuth Applications | Google Admin, OAuth | This article will cover the process of allowing Google OAuth Applications.
An OAuth Application, in the context of Google, is a website that leverages Google SSO / OAuth Authentication, so that a user can sign into the respective website/service using an existing Google Account. This prevents the user from needing to come up a different password for each website. Another important note is that OAuth authentication is integrated with API controls in Google. So allowing (actually called 'Trusting' in the Google Admin console) OAuth applications, gives them permissions and access to a Users Google Services - Drive, Docs, etc. Only legitimate, trusted OAuth applications should be allowed. There are data security implications of trusting illegitimate third-party OAuth applications.
Until we build out a more robust, automated solution for users to request access to OAuth Applications, it is probably best to use the existing Digital Resource Request Form - https://psd401.freshservice.com/support/catalog/items/75
Trusting OAuth Applications in Google Workspace
The following are examples of blocked OAuth Google Logins.
It is important to note the the App Name or ID
These are the App Name:
In the above images, note the Application (or sometimes Developer/Publisher name)
The above image is what a Student may see. They can click 'request access' to generate a request in the Google Admin console. Unfortunately we cannot see any identifying information with this message.
In the above image, there is no Application Name or ID.
You would need to find out from the user which website they're trying to sign in with.
If you are not finding the app by name, it can also be added or found by ID. You need to click 'see error details'
Within the error details, look for client_id=
The numbers following that is the ID (as you can see above)
1. Login to Google Admin
2. From the left-hand column, navigate to Security > Access and data control > API controls
3. Under App access control, select Manage Third-Party App Access
4. The OAuth Application you are trying to unblock (Trust) may be in the list of Accessed apps - select View list
5. When I searched for the below App using the ID I saw in the Authorization Error message, it did not find it for some reason. So there will be times where App name works, but ID doesn't, and possibly vice-versa. Also noting 'Public Sector Connect' is actually just the Google OAuth Login for googlecloudcommunity.com - even though it doesn't mention Google at all. So sometimes, the App name, may not directly match up with the website they are logging into. This is why it's important to see the Authorization Error message the user is getting for information.
6. Now that we've found the application, select Change access on the right-hand side to proceed.
7. You now need to do some considering on how exactly you will give the app access.
Students cannot sign into any OAuth App, by default, unless we've already configured it by marking it 'Trusted' or 'Limited'.
Staff can sign into any OAuth App they want, as long as it is only requesting 'Google Sign-In' access (i,e. No Drive, Contacts, etc access).
If the OAuth app is 100% legitimate, and needs more permissions than just 'Google Sign-In', it will need to be marked at Trusted. You would then decide if this is something all users need (if so, install at the root / edtools.psd401.net / all users). If not, just select the 'Staff' OU, and trust it for that OU.
If the app is legitimate and Students are needing it, and it only needs 'Google Sign-In' - you can configure it with Limited permissions. Configuring an OAuth app with Limited permissions makes it so that the app can only get 'Google Sign-In' permissions.
So consider - Is this app being used by just Staff? Or All Users? Does it need to be Trusted or can it just be set to Limited?
Please reach out if you have hesitations or questions.
8. Next, select edtools.psd401.net (all users) if the OAuth app is to be used by all users. Otherwise, select the radio button next to Select org units and then check the box next to Staff and then click Select, and then Next
9. At the next screen, simply select Trusted (only if it needs to be Trusted, review the considerations above for how to go about this). Leave the 'Allowlist for exemption from API...' box unchecked.
10. Review settings at the final screen and then confirm changes by clicking Change Access. You will also have to click Confirm at the Confirm parental consent pop-up message.
11. If you were not able to find the app via the above method, you will need to add it as a new app. Configured Apps > Add app > Find the OAuth App by ID or Application Name, then follow the steps above.
12. The OAuth application has now been allowed.
Note: It can take ~15 minutes or longer before the user is now able to sign in + unblock to go into effect. | 2023-07-10T21:51:08 | 1,710,437,740,000 | 1,710,437,740,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The first thing to do is identify what it is that they are requesting:
Is it a Google Chrome Extension?
The URL would look like this (example): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/screencastify-screen-vide/mmeijimgabbpbgpdklnllpncmdofkcpn?hl=en-US

Is it a Chromebook Android App?

It will always start with: https://play.google.com/store/apps/
Is it a Workspace Marketplace App / Add-on?

It will always start with: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/

Google Chrome Extension / App
By default, all staff can add whatever Chrome extensions they want. So Chrome extensions don't need to be explicitly added for staff, unless the extension needs to be force-installed. For staff and students, I try to avoid force-installing Chrome extensions unless it is imperative (uBlock Origin, document camera extensions, etc.) For students, all extensions are blocked, unless we have allowed them. If there is an extension that is for students that is being requested, I will allow it for just the student OU, not force install it, and then give the link to that extension to the teacher, so they can distribute the link via Schoology, or whatever method, and have the students manually add the extension. This prevents the entire student population from getting an extension they will never use. It's best practice to limit the number of extensions that are force-installed.
1. Go to admin.google.com
2. From the left-hand column, navigate to Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions > Users & browsers.
3. Select the Student OU (organizational unit)
4. Select Add Chrome App or Extension by ID
5. Paste in the Chrome Extension ID, which will be a string of usually all letters, then click Save.
(Example - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom/hmbjbjdpkobdjplfobhljndfdfdipjhg=en - the Chrome Extension ID is the string after /zoom/)
6. Verify the extension/app you just added shows up in the list. Verify it says 'Allow install' if you've just approved it, or 'Force-install' if you chose to force install the extension (not recommended in most cases)
7. You've successfully added the Chrome Extension / App.
8. Other tips: You never want to install a Chrome Extension / App at the root. The root is the 'edtools.psd401.net' OU. You will either want to install it for just the Student OU, or, if it's something that needs to be force-installed for both Staff + Students (this is pretty rare), you will force-install the extension / app in both the Student and Staff OU.
__
Chromebook Android Apps (also could be called Google Play App)
1. This process is virtually identical the the Chrome Extension / App process.
2. Follow the Chrome Extension / App process (above) to Step 3.
3. Click on the + icon, and select 'Add from Google Play'
4. Search by name for the app they are requesting, and select it. Make sure the picture and title matches their link exactly.
5. Review the permissions at the next screen, and accept.
6. Verify the Android / Google Play app you just added shows up.
7. For Android / Google Play apps, you will want to add them to both the Staff & Student OU's. This is so it will show up for a teacher logged into a Chromebook. You will typically want to leave it on 'Allow install' though. If you leave it on 'Allow install', it will still show up in the Google Play app on Chromebooks, even without it being installed. It will show up, but they will need to install it (they simply click on the app, and click install).
__
Workspace Marketplace App / Add-on
1. This process is a little different. Also, with these, you will either be installed just for the 'Staff' OU, or for the root (edtools.psd401.net). This is the only kind of app where it is acceptable to install at the root.
2. Visit the Workspace Marketplace App link that they've submitted and click 'Domain Install'
3. There is a pop-up saying it may take up to 24 hours to turn on, etc. Click 'Continue'
4. The next screen is telling you which permissions you are granting the app, scroll down to where it says 'Turn ON for:'
5. If this is a Staff-only Workspace app, you will be turning it on for just the Staff OU. If it is for Staff + Students, you will be turning it on for the 'root' or the edtools.psd401.net OU.
6. There will be a drop down list with lots of OU's. It's not alphabetical unfortunately. You can type 'Staff' and it should find the Staff OU (if this should only be installed for Staff). Find the Staff OU and select it.
7. Check the 'I agree' box, then click 'Allow'.
8. It may take an hour or more to show installed. However, you can immediately go to this link: https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/marketplace/domaininstall and look if it shows up in that list as 'On'. If it's a Workspace Marketplace App that was only installed for Staff, you will have to click on the Staff OU to see if it shows up.
9. After about an hour, this is what it would look like if you browse to the Workspace Marketplace App they submitted and it got successfully installed:
10. For Workspace Marketplace Apps, use best judgement when choosing to install either for Staff only, or for edtools.psd401.net (the root aka installing for everyone, staff + students). Most of our Workspace Marketplace Apps are turned on for everyone. There are a handful that are Staff only. Ask yourself, is this something a Student will ever use? Is it appropriate for Student use? Did the teacher ask for it to be installed for both? Those questions could be applied to Chrome Extensions as well.
If there are any questions, this guide needs to be updated, etc - let me know. Google changes the interface of the Admin Console from time-to-time, so it's possible that some of this guide may get outdated in the future.

Share files from Google Drive
You can share the files and folders that you store in Google Drive with anyone in your work or school account, [email protected], but your organization may limit how you can share files with other people. When you share from Google Drive, you can control whether people can edit, comment on, or only view the file. When you share content from Google Drive, the Google Drive program policies apply.
Computer AndroidiPhone & iPad
Step 1: Find the file you want to share
Share a single file
On a computer, go to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Click the file you want to share.
Click Share .
Share multiple files
Send & share Google Forms
Step 2: Choose who to share with & how they can use your file
Share with specific people
Share with a group of specific people
Add an expiration date
Allow general access to the file
Share a file publicly
Share & collaborate on a file with many people
At any time, a Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides file can only be edited on up to 100 open tabs or devices. If there are more than 100 instances of the file open, only the owner and some users with editing permissions can edit the file.
To share and collaborate on a file with a very wide audience:
Publish the file
If you need many people to view a file at once, publish it and create a link to share to viewers. You can give edit access to people who need to edit or comment on the file. Learn how to publish a file.
Depending on your accounts settings, publishing a file makes it visible to everyone on the web, everyone in your organization, or a group of people in your organization. Be careful when publishing private or sensitive info.
Important: If you have an account through work or school, your administrator can limit who can view a published file. If you're an administrator, learn how to control who can publish documents to the web.
To remove a file from the web, you must stop publishing it. Learn how to stop publishing a file.
To stop sharing a file with collaborators, learn how to change sharing permissions.
Create a Google Site
Create a Google Site to share information with many people. You can embed documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the site, which can be viewed by a large amount of users. Learn how to embed documents on a site.
If you anticipate high traffic to your site, first publish your document in Google Docs, Sheets or Slides, then embed the published URL into Google Sites. Learn how to publish a file.
Collect feedback with Google Forms
If you need to gather a lot of information, create a Google Form. Responses will be recorded in a Google Sheet. Give edit access only to people who need to work with the responses. To let more than 100 people view the responses, publish the spreadsheet to the web and create a link to share with viewers. Learn how to publish a file.
Fix problems with documents shared with many people
If your document is shared with many people and its crashing or not updating quickly, try these troubleshooting tips:
Instead of allowing people to comment on a document or spreadsheet, create a Google Form to collect feedback. Learn how to create a Google Form.
If youre making a copy of a document, dont include resolved comments and suggestions. Learn how to make a copy.
Delete older information or move data into a new document.
Ask viewers to close the document when they arent using it.
Include only the most important information in a published document. Shorter documents load faster.
Reduce the amount of people with edit access to a document.
If collecting information from multiple documents, create a new, view-only document to share with a large number of people.
Limit how a file is shared
Choose if people can view, comment, or edit
Change the general access for your file

There are a couple of circumstances when backing up and/or transferring the ownership of your Google Drive materials is necessary. One circumstance is a student leaving the district and/or graduating. Another circumstance is a staff member leaving the district and/or retiring.
Graduating students have from the last day of school until July 1st to do this process, if desired. For staff leaving the district or retiring, we recommend you do the transfer a week before leaving.
Classroom Teachers - Please ensure that student data (names, grades, etc) is not included in the materials that you download from your Google Drive.
There are a couple of options for you to get all your files from PSD Google Account, which are "Transfer your Content" and "Google Takeout".
Both methods allow you to move your data, but they serve different purposes and offer different functionalities. In this article, we will show you how to Transfer your Content from your Google account, if you want to see information about the "Google Takeout" option, click here https://psd401.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/6000040299
Transfer your Content (via Google Account)
This option is specifically designed to transfer your data from one Google account to another Google account. It is limited to Gmail and Google Drive content. You need to have space in your personal account (recipient) for the data to be transferred from your work/student account.
Follow these steps for transferring your content between Google accounts:
1. Log in to your Google Account and go to "Account".
2. Find "Transfer your content" and click on "Start transfer".
3. Enter the email address of the recipient account (usually a personal Gmail account) and follow the prompts to complete the transfer.
4. Go to your personal Gmail inbox and check for the email that Google sent you called "Verify your account". Click on the "Get confirmation code" button at the bottom of that email.
5. Another tab will open showing the code. Copy it and paste it back onto the Account page where your are setting at the transfer of files.
6. Once you paste the code into the field, your account will be verified. Then click "Next".
7. Select the content you want to be transferred (usually Drive and Gmail), and click "Start Transfer".
8. Now you have to just wait. This process may take a long time. It usually completes within a few hours, but larger transfers may take up to a week. When the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation email to your personal Gmail account.
Note: If your recipient account (usually personal Gmail) doesn't have enough free space, you'll get an error message and will need to make some space by deleting large unused files, or purchasing extra Google Drive storage. Alternatively, you can choose to perform a Google Takeout.
Additional details about this process
Copied files may appear in batches in the destination Google account during the copy process.
Where do I see my transferred data?
For Gmail: Copied Gmail content will appear in your personal Gmail with a label containing your PSD account name and the date you started the copy process.

Due to OSPI requirements for parent notification, we have a system set up for documenting Restraint & Isolation cases and creating a parent letter that is OSPI compliant.
Everything is located in Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/18p8gp4kGjHCD9Durylrjm2OXse48HKiw
The form where schools enter data is located here.
That information goes into a google sheet located here (has very restricted permissions).
It is set through Document Studio to send an email to the schools' principal, Sara Hoover, John Yellowlees, and select special services employees saying that a restraint & isolation form has been created and a parent letter saved, with a link to the letter. The template for the parent letter is here, and the PDF'd final parent letters are here.
Periodically, Carol Winget will download this spreadsheet and import into PowerSchool. The final column notes when it was imported.
Settings for the emails/PDFs can be edited by opening the google sheet and going to Add-Ons->Document Studio->Open.
**In general, please ask Sarah to make any changes. This information is in case Sarah is unavailable or OOO.**
Questions about this process, outside of the technical components, should be directed to John Yellowlees. Technical questions can be directed to Sarah Banks. | 2020-12-11T07:51:22 | 1,710,269,203,000 | 1,710,264,683,000 | 2025-04-01T00:00:00Z | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
