Get your Group Approved

The first step is to create a group for you and your students (name, image, and description) and wait for approval. Make sure to set your group as private. NOTE: This group is set as public so that anyone can see it. Yours will be private if you choose that setting.

Your students will all have to be members first. (FREE) You may want to join together in a computer lab to make sure all of the students in your class are approved. Students must upload a profile picture (it does not have to be a person) and answer…Continue

Hi Tara. Thanx for the trouble with the screenshot. I'm familiar with screenshots of that nature, BUT either I need a walking stick ... or my browser is hiding what you see on your screen, because I don't see the forum section of this group!

This is what I see:

That "Forum" name you see there, is the general Forum page. So, I guess the problem lies either with my browser or software I do not have yet. I am using another browser (linked to my security package), but I have tried IE too a few minutes ago with the same result.

But pse read my other reply to you too; I guess I shouldn't spend time further on this, at least not for the time being! Thanx anyway. :)

I think that should answer your question. You can upload anything from your computer. Try starting a new Discussion in the Forum section of this group. Call it Homework Assignment (or whatever you want). Try uploading a file from your computer. (see screenshot)

Comment by John on September 17, 2012 at 14:40: Thanks Tara. I guess joining would pose the least of the problems! My other concern(s) I've shared with you on the other thread. I basically can't figure out how to post any content (like lesson material from my own pc files) in this group. If I can't do it here, I guess I wouldn't be able to do it in any new group I would like to create. Maybe my pc is lacking some software and that's why I don't see the necessary features (I have Flash, btw)? Or if you don't have any other teachers posting their own lesson material in their own groups, maybe the website is not set up for what I had in mind? I'm in a bit of a loss here, I must admit.

Admin Comment by Tara Benwell on September 14, 2012 at 14:54: @Johan It really doesn't take much to get approved. Students have to agree to the terms, answer a few questions, and upload a picture. They can try to do it at home. If any aren't approved, simply help them.

You could also let me know the names of your students (make sure you tell me which profile names they choose), and I'll make sure they are all approved even if their answers aren't all correct.

Comment by John on September 14, 2012 at 5:09: Hi Tara. Thanx for taking the effort to set up this group. I'll check it out and if it works for me, I'll consider the possibility to start groups for my different classes. However, I'm a little worried about when they're joining EC (which I don't have a problem with as such, as it is obvious that should happen first) as their command of the language is not all that great. I'll look at the possibility of joining together although I'm not sure whether we have that facility where all computers in one specific classroom would be linked to the Internet. I'll see what I can do and will keep you posted where necessary. Have a nice day. :)

Comment by Ymn Pearl on September 13, 2012 at 18:10: What a nice idea!

I like the idea.. Now, I'm going through the blogs that you've written to have a complete idea. =))

Thank you so much Teacher Tara. =))

SpamBuster Comment by Yasemin on September 13, 2012 at 17:44: I get it now. Then, I will wait for teachers to create their own groups, and will join.

This is really exciting! A great idea!

Thank you very much Dear Tara...
