MC Digital Blog

We are sharing resources on how to access the Rigorous Curriculum Design (RCD) resources that have been moved over the summer from Moodle to Canvas. Pam Batchelor has created a video tutorial to explain how to access Canvas and enroll in the RCD courses that have been developed for your use. Click here to view the video on mobile devices Brittany Taylor has created a PDF guide on how to access the curriculum materials as well. Please  click here to view the PDF guide . We are super excited that almost every core subject and grade level has resources. Please reach out to the Digital Learning Team or the Curriculum Specialists if you would like additional resources and training on accessing or using these wonderful resources!

Guardians can’t access Classroom or view your class stream.  The other big update is the  option to add a "Topic"  on teacher posts.  This allows postings to be grouped together and sorted by topic.  This feature can be extremely helpful in organizing posts by unit
