My Stuff (Backpack)

Hover over My Stuff to see a list of everything that belongs to you in MySciLife, including all of your personal content, listed by category: 
  1. Messages will take you to the message center.
  2. Drafts will take you to your Draft Center.
  3. Posts will take you to a page that shows all of your posts in reverse chronological order (your most recent post will be at the top, and your oldest posts will be at the bottom).
  4. Bookmarks will take you to a page that shows all of the posts in MySciLife that you have bookmarked.
  5. My Account will take you to your Account Profile page.
  6. My Archives will appear if you are a part of any archived communities from any school year. If you click the My Archives button, you’ll see a list of possible archives you can view or restore. Only archives created by the teacher can be restored by the same teacher. Archives created by the administrator can only be viewed by teachers and students. All archives are read-only. If you are viewing an archive from a previous platform version of MySciLife (or in some cases a previous school year) you may see a small red banner that reminds the user they are viewing an archive. Click on the banner to return to the current, active platform version of MySciLife at any time.
TIP: The MySciLife archive from a previous year is a handy way to access old identities you may wish to re-create for the new school year using copy/paste. It is also useful for sharing examples with a class.

  1. Search (Magnifying Glass): Click the magnifying glass icon to access the platform-wide search feature. Type a search term in the shadowbox and click “GO” (or hit enter) to search posts, identities, library items, and announcements that match the search terms.
  2. Logout (Arrow w/ Door): Click this button to logout.
