Is your class stream 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 completed tab, making it easier to know which assignments are still relevant.

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

PLEASE NOTE: Changes made when editing an assigned learning experience DOES NOT affect the original LE in the unit flow.

How can we streamline the approval process of journal posts?

Approving and monitoring journal 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 in the team needs to approve ✅ the posts before they display for parents.

Some grades have decided as a team to turn off teacher approval for journal 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 journal 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.
