Is your Assignments overflowing with Learning Experiences from the start of the school year or assignments from remote learning? Help keep the class stream tidy for students and new families. By marking Learning Experiences as Complete, they are moved to the Reviewed tab, making it easier to know which assignments are still relevant.

1. Go to the Assignments
2. Click the 3 dots [ ... ] on the right side of the LE.
3. Mark the LE as complete.

How can we streamline the approval process of portfolio posts?

Approving and monitoring portfolio posts can be a time-consuming process when students are provided with the opportunity to share their learning. By default, teacher approval is on for all classes. This means that someone on the team needs to approve ✅ the posts before they are displayed to parents.

Some grades have decided as a team to turn off teacher approval for portfolio posts. No matter which option your grade decides, teachers still need to check the posts students make to ensure they are appropriate. If you have approval on or off, this process will help save you time later:

1. Student creates a portfolio post in the student app.
2. Student shows the post with an adult.
3. Adult says it is ok to publish.
4. Student publishes post. 
5. Parents are notified and love it! ❤️

Folders make it easy for parents and teachers to find posts related to particular subejcts or skills.

When should the students or I use the different post types in the Toddle mobile apps?

Not sure which type of journal post you or your students should be using? You might be using a workbook when photos could meet your needs. Please consult this handy guide, to see which type to use when.
