Improvements for Managing Assignments

Hi Gladys Rodriguez,

These are some reasonable suggestions for the abilities of the teacher dashboard. And I do agree with some of the suggestions that you provided. But I'm not fully sure with the 4th suggestion where you said that there should be a way that teachers could create their own content and assign them. For example, Khan Academy has over 92% of every math, science, and biology content and courses that there is. Unless there is a course or mathematical(etc.) course and assignment that they do not already provide. 

But I think the only way they would allow that is if there was a personal page where you were able to do so so that it wouldn't affect the entire website but just for your own students. If they could do that then that would be appropriate.

👑💎 Professor Sykes 💎👑: Thanks for the quick answer.

About my 4th suggestion, I was not worried about regular subject such as Math and ELA. 

My kids are interested in astronomy, aeronautics and other additional courses that spark their learning. 

In addition, and more important, I like the Life Skills materials addedd.  But there is so much more that can be part of this. Youtube and other sites have a ton of kids videos that talk about positive attitude, time-management, communication and interpersonal skills, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, accepting constructive criticism, empathy, honesty, humility, passions, listening, diplomacy, perseverance, respect, optimism, mood & attitudes, challenges, kindness and many others.  I always have thought that these are the most important skills that we need to have and there are not many classes that focus on this.   

There are resources in the internet to help students with disabilities such as ADHD, Dyslexia and others.  Reading for comprehension is another ... and maybe some of this could be added.

Last but not least, in many places, at the end of the year, assessments are required.  So it would be awesome if material could be added to help students review and prepare the students for these assessments. 

So there is definitely room for expansion of the content being offered. 

Aw I see, I definitely agree with more assignments and resources on the Growth mindest and Lifeskills course. And also you did just name many more contents that would be very useful for the app. Perhaps the devs and admins and ultimately the CEO will consider your proposal. :)
