It is possible to turn this on.&nbsp;o to settings in course details tick the box next to \u2018Enable Grading Scheme\u2019.&nbsp;The only issue is that Canvas\u2019s grading scheme is not the same as the districts grading scheme as per Synergy so it requires a little editing. Please see&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1uy7NNwwTMhzffKTxIC-U-fWDn3NRFfps\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">this video<\/a>&nbsp;for instructions on how to set up a grading scheme.

You can do this via two methods. You can hardwire it by connecting the iPad to your MacBook using your dongle or a Lightning to USB-C cable then clicking \u2018iPhone or iPad screen\u2019 where sharing your screen in WebEx. Alternatively you can mirror your iPad screen by air playing it to your MacBook then sharing your screen in WebEx.<\/li><li>We will be showing students how to do this in advisory but we recommend suggesting to your students to minimize any modules they have finished with in the Student Canvas app. They do this my clicking the small black triangle next to module titles. This should help with their navigation and focus their module screen on just the module they are currently working on.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**We have added a link to the Canvas Coach&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1km71Bk3-ma9s7mYyLRet78xs3XoqgqSDAtjnxD1gVqk\/edit?usp=sharing\">Canvas Best Practices<\/a>&#8221; document on the right hand side of the blog.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OCTOBER ELL NEWSLETTER: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1UmP8_ILRSXtjb-Yy7V4ndxcwLdAYun8W\/view?usp=sharing\">Click here<\/a> to check out the latest ELL newsletter which is chalk full of helpful info, including links to prepared lessons specifically designed for CDL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Reminders:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HDMS FAQ:  In addition to our twice weekly admin office hours, staff can continue to get answers to questions using the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1AE03_KaevAqEU26O-cinOypp4rlVO4MDph4VhWKaplQ\/edit?usp=sharing\">HDMS FAQ document<\/a>.  The admin team continues to check and update this document on a regular basis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A note from Jim&#8211; As you are aware, MS teachers and classified employees who work directly with students were asked to provide input on three possible Hybrid scenarios. The three options presented are \u201cbig picture\u201d and not \u201cdetailed\u201d on purpose. Before details are determined we would like to know your comfort level, priorities, and preferences to some of the bigger questions around safety and instructional framework. That was the purpose of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A request was made today to hold a Q &amp; A session with interested staff prior to the survey window closes. In an effort towards transparency, I\u2019ll be hosting such an opportunity next Monday (10\/19) at 3:30 in my Webex room (<a href=\"https:\/\/bls.webex.com\/meet\/jim.boen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bls.webex.com\/meet\/jim.boen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"LPContainer816662\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bls.webex.com\/meet\/jim.boen\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the survey closing window will be extended until next Wednesday (10\/21) at 4:00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A potential downside to this change in feedback collection process is for those who have submitted a response to the survey already, then attend Monday\u2019s Q &amp; A and wish they could change their response after hearing more about these options. Multiple responses to this survey will not provide accurate data. If you have already submitted a response, then change your mind based on new information, please provide your principal with both your previous and new response and this will be calculated in to the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CULTURE OF CARE: The HDMS team created <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1kHKrutPTYxGEAOyQye6IkR3fY-UPu4rdRxYWhZxg0fU\/edit?usp=sharing\">this Culture of Care Corner document<\/a>.
