Commenting on Announcements

Commenting on Announcements

You can comment directly from the expanded announcement view (unless the teacher has disabled commenting in that community).

Click the “+” to the left of the announcement title. Beneath the announcement summary, you will see a comment box. Type your comment into the box and click the “Comment” button to submit your comments.

Comments can also be made in the full announcement view. Click on the announcement title to open the announcement view. The comment box appears below the full announcement. All previous comments also appear in reverse chronological order below the comment box.

Student comments may require teacher moderation.
