Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

Canvas notifications has been a great help to me this semester since I just downloaded the new revamped app as well. I also get their notifications on my school email. Getting notifications about when a teacher sends out an email or personal one is very helpful along with grade updates and assignment notifications. Sometimes I'll forget to do an assignment, but I'll be notified and reminded to do it so I don't get a big fat zero.

Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

To be honest, when I first started using Canvas I was not its biggest fan. I wish the everything wold just go back to the way things were with Ozone, but as time went by I grew more fond of it. The dashboard in particular is quite neat and nice. I can customize it to my liking, which I do a lot every semester now. I tweak the color of each class to match what I want. I can even change the names of these classes to make it more easy for me.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I used to have the older version of the Canvas app on my iPhone, but it lacked a lot of features so I got rid of it. However, they revamped the Canvas app and now I have it re-downloaded. It has so many more features now that it almost mimics the actual Canvas website. It does have some limitations though such as not being able to see class averages on assignments and tests. Another downside it you can't manually input in a "fake" score on one of your assignments just like you can on the actual Canvas, so that you can see what you need to make on the assignment to make a certain grade. Overall it is an amazing new app and I use it almost every day.
