Canvas recently introduced an enhancement that streamlines assignment management—the "Assign To" feature. This feature allows instructors to customize assignments, quizzes, and discussions for specific students, sections, or groups easily. Whether it's for differentiated instruction, offering accommodations, or managing makeup work, the "Assign To" feature offers the flexibility to set unique due dates, availability windows, or even different tasks altogether for select individuals or groups.  One of the key benefits of this feature is its convenience. Instead of having to enter the assignment editor for small adjustments, instructors can quickly update due dates and assignments using a slide-out menu. This slide-out isn’t just available in the assignment editor but can also be accessed via the three-dot context menu next to assignments or activities in the assignment index and modules. It’s a practical update that simplifies course management and enhances efficiency.

We’ve heard about Genially, the platform allowing users to create visually engaging and interactive presentations, infographics, quizzes, etc. Genially is supremely user-friendly, enabling educators from all backgrounds to create professional-looking content without needing advanced design or coding skills. Whether a novice or a seasoned user, here is a great opportunity to bring Genially to your online classroom:  Having mechanisms for assessing students in a low stress and interactive manner can help students retain and apply key course concepts, as well as, provide instructors with instant feedback on how well students are grasping key course material. On this edition of Tech Tuesday I am spotlighting Kahoot!, a gamified quiz software that has features that can be used beyond the standard quiz game. 
I am here to share my favorite ways that I use Google for teaching. In this post, I will reveal my favorite 3 Google hacks that make teaching easier, smoother, and some fun! By Dr. Alisa Beyer, Psychology Faculty  First, I enjoy finding systematic ways to share information with students. I get emails with different events and there is general information to always share (advising, FOI Canvas, mental health resources, student tools on cgc.edu, etc). I channel all that chaos into one beautiful, shared Google Slides deck that my faculty colleagues can add to as well. It’s my one-stop shop for sharing what students need to know—minus the inbox clutter! I share it at the start of class and post it in my announcements in Canvas. Here is an example of the PSY student slides.
