Technology Thursday Tips:

Savvas Chromebook Issue:
There was a firewall issue with the Savvas Realize platform that was causing intermittent issues with a white screen appearing for students when they clicked on the Realize platform link in EasyBridge or attempted to load assignments. MCNC has adjusted our firewall settings and this issue should be resolved.

Google Classroom Archived Classes:
Classes created on or before January 1, 2021, have been archived. 
It is best practice to create a new Google Classroom for each school year.
Educators can still access their archived classes by going to Google Classroom and clicking the three lines icon on the left side of the page and selecting "Archived Classes":
All files and assignments are also kept in the Google Classroom folder on each educator's Google Drive.

Educators who use Relay Classroom should remove all students from linked Google Classrooms at the end of the year or semester. This will prevent issues with restrictions on student accounts from prior classes.
