NEW FEATURES ONLINE TODAY

We're pleased to announce that we've added more new site features and functions for teachers:

IMPORT GIZMOS: Now you can copy a list of Gizmos from one class to another on your personal home page! If you want the same Gizmo list to appear on more than one tab, just click Get Gizmos and look for Option 2: Import Gizmos From Another Class.

IMPORT STUDENTS: If you want all the students in one of your classes to enroll in a different class, now you can just copy the whole roster from one tab to another. On your personal home page, click Manage Roster and then Import Students.

ZAP CLASS: If you need to delete all the Gizmos and remove all the students from a class, click Zap Class. Zapping a class will effectively reset a tab to the "empty" state it was in when your subscription began. WARNING: When you zap a class, the results are permanent -- you'll have to create a new Gizmo list, and your students will have to re-enroll!

NEW ASSESSMENT RESULTS COLOR SCHEME: We've tried to make the color coding for assessment results a bit more intuitive. Read Edward's post to see the before and after illustrations.

SUBSCRIPTION COUNTDOWN: Whether you're using a free 30-day trial subscription or you've purchased the real thing, eventually the clock will run out. Next time you log in, look in the top left corner of the page for a gentle reminder of when your next renewal date comes around.

We hope you enjoy these new additions, and keep the suggestions coming!
