@edpuzzle , please help! I’ve already removed all course administrators so that nobody clicks on the puzzle assignment in my materials in my Schoology integrated course with joined classes. Still, after deleting everything, I some ss can’t access the video-error message.

The USFWS is proposing a change to the Endangered Species Act redefining "harm," as acts against individual animals only, rather than habitat destruction.

The Pittsburgh zoo has a new lion to be a companion for the lionesses. "Here in Pittsburgh so far, Hondo is a perfect gentleman, and the ladies are obsessed with him," the zoo says. https://t.co/GgZlc9m4uE

What makes someone a hero? 🇺🇸

Students honored & discussed some of the heroes & the victims of 9/11 & wrote about someone they consider to be a hero from September 11, history, modern society, their own lives, or fiction in film or print.

Ss used Quizlet Live to review literary terms & Smiley Face Tricks. The ability to recognize & analyze the effects of powerful writing techniques in literature, film, poetry, music, ads, & more empowers them as readers, listeners, viewers, writers, & creators! @CanonMacMS

@RemindHQ, you are a FANTASTIC resource, but your timing in implementing a new policy to limit announcements after teachers have already established the routine creates student confusion & annoyance-even if teachers change their messaging (to WHAT?)-& costs teachers time & worry.

[Kelly Berg Canon-McMillan Middle School @KellyMarieBerg]

Parents & students, please note @RemindHQ’s new policy to freeze the ability to send announcements after a weekly limit is reached.

I am individually messaging parents today, but cannot do so for students under 13. For students, I have also sent a Schoology message. Thank you!

Congratulations to Black History Month essay contest winner Mya M. , who wrote a persuasive letter convincing the Knights teachers to donate to Greenpeace w/ an effective claim, support, counterargument, rebuttal, and call to action! Writing has power! @CanonMacMS
