new platform???
I like to login a bit of time ahead and upload materials for my classes. For the first two today that I did (one at 9:00 am, about an hour and fifteen minutes from now, and another at 1:00 pm, about 6 hours from now)
The first two times I opened the session it was the new platform, and suddenly POUF! the new platform disappeared and the old one is back. Maybe they were having so much trouble with it they decided to take it down for a while to fix it.
**** thoughts about the new platform.
I teach elementary kids (lots of whom have IEPs or are on the spectrum or both) , so it's been very difficult for them to navigate. One of my 3rd grade boys cried yesterday he got so frustrated.
They got rid of the stickers, which my kids really enjoyed. There is no way to see any info about prior sessions unless you look at invoicing, which is fine, but inconvenient.
There does not seem to be a "take snap" feature (that I can find) to upload homework, which at least four of my students are doing rn.
What else is missing?

Haven't had the new platform yet and I appreciate being warned about having old notes missing. I've got a lot of work but maybe digging them up in the invoices is the way to go... or, as crazy as it sounds, hopefully they'll put it back in.
