Moderating in the Post View
Teachers can also moderate student posts inside the individual post view. To see the "post view" (the entire contents of a student post, identity, or comment), click the title of that item in the Activity Feed. The item will open in a shadow box.
Teachers also have a few extra options when viewing the post view. In addition to being able to interact with posts, teachers can also click the Options button to edit a post, view teacher feedback, or flag a post (lead teachers only).
Edit: Click this button to make an edit to the post.
Tip: use this feature sparingly. It is always better to allow a student to make changes. Changing a writer’s words is like stealing their “voice.” Edit simple things like a missing letter or obvious typing error.
View Teacher Feedback: Click this button to view the teacher feedback you've submitted on this post. Remember: only students and their teacher can view this feedback.
Send Message: Click this button to open a compose message window and send a message to this student related to this item.
Flag: Lead teachers will see a Flag button, allowing them to flag a post for removal. Clicking this button will send the post back to the teacher who approved it for further moderation.
