Learning in the Lou

Right now we have tons of teachers creating all types of courses for next year. Sometimes you will want to copy just one page or resource from one course to another. It sounds complicated but it is actually just a few short clicks. Start by opening the course you want to add something to. 1. Click Settings . 2. Click Import Course Content on the far right . 1. Click Content Type and choose Copy a Canvas Course . 2. If courses don't show, just starting typing the name of the course you want to add from. Click Select specific content . Click Import . On the next screen click Select Content . 1. Wiki Pages are just pages. Don't let the name Wiki throw you. 2. Click the resources you want to add. 3. Click Select Content . The status bar should tell you how long it will take for the import. The two items from my other course were imported in.

At some point, we all accidentally delete something in Canvas and it is usually something that is one of a kind. Did you know by adding one tiny little word you can find the things you deleted in your Canvas courses? Open your Canvas course. 1. Click on Home .  2. Pro Tip - If you ever call Canvas for tech support they will ask you what course you are talking about, just read them these numbers. (If you haven't called, try it. You will be very surprised, they are top notch!) To find all your deleted items just add a backslash and the word undelete. The red text is what I typed in after my course address. (lindbergh.instructure.com/courses/182 /undelete ) The page will now show what and when things were deleted. Click restore to bring them back. Note: I do not know how long these items live on the Restore Deleted Items page.

This post is to support the LHS FACS students. We stumbled upon this app a while ago and it just keeps getting better. We thought it would be a great time to update the post to help you hone your video creation skills. This post was used in LHS FACS to help guide the video creation process.  Why did we pick FilmoraGo? We needed to find an app that was free and worked on both iOS and Android. WARNING! We would advise you to have a  minimum  of one gig of free storage on your device before you start creating your project. Trust us, we learned the hard way. Use  Google Photos  to back all your images and videos which can help free up space quickly. It is also the easiest way to back up all your FACS videos. Do not delete any files off your device  until the project has been uploaded YouTube and submitted for a final grade. WARNING! Chocolate Coconut Sheet Cake The first time we watched the video without any introduction or context. Just clicked p
