@Alex_FigmaEdu @miggi @TomEMullaney Done, thank you! Appreciate the education-specific email for future questions!

[Laura Smith @thatlaurasmith]

@miggi @TomEMullaney I would love some guidance on how to get students verified Figma accounts so they can join my edu team. I have them working on FigJam boards but they can’t access my edu team. Tried to look online but couldn’t find a resource to help me. Thanks!

[Laura Smith @thatlaurasmith]

@TomEMullaney Awesome, yes it does. Thank you!

[Laura Smith @thatlaurasmith]

@TomEMullaney Hi Tom! When you embed Docs/Slides into FigJam, can I set them up so students see those in View Only? Or is there a way I can set it to copy the Slides/Docs? Thanks!

[Laura Smith @thatlaurasmith]

I’m thinking just a text box with a link to force copy but would love to embed if possible.

@NICUHandtoHold Check in on them. Even if they didn’t carry the baby— the weight of the NICU is isolating and hard for them, too.

@richardson_edu @JenMPage Do you know a secondary ELA teacher using FigJam? I’d love to connect with them if so!

[Laura Smith @thatlaurasmith]

Any secondary ELA teachers using FigJam? Would love to collaborate and create with you— super intrigued by kanban workflow and more. #2ndaryela #ncte #figjam

@notasausage Joined Cincinnati Friends of Figma chapter after watching a @miggi archived class on YouTube. Would love to connect with other local teachers using Figjam, specifically secondary ELA.
