Hi, everyone. I wanted to be one of the first ones to announce that one of the long awaited Ipad Teacher App Updates was released this week.
I’m proud to say that VIPKID listened to us and gave us the landscape view of the classroom. I’m thrilled, because it was stuck in portrait mode way to long. I feel that I can use the Ipad App more often. The only con I still have with the cell phone and Ipad apps is that we still cannot fill out UAs . That is a very much a disservice and a feature that I’m still waiting for. I find it is very inconvenient when you have like 3 assessments in a row, such as I had last weekend. You need to log into the teacher portal online or on the Teacher PC App.
Also, I want to make announcement, if you have not already learned, as of April 1, 2019, the Teacher Portal website classrooms will not work in any browser, ONLY Google Chrome 58 and above. Make sure if you don’t use the Teacher PC App to either start using that or using Chrome. However, I’ve been using the Teacher PC App for almost a year and I’ve never had many problems.
Lastly, if you remember my video about the new Teacher PC App classroom, I mentioned the lack of removing stars and also the new Thumbs up feature. This week VIPKID has changed the stars. We can remove and increase them easily. As well, the Thumbs Up button moved over to the chat bar. So look around carefully at the changes that happen. VIPKID seems to lack making announces prior to releasing the new features.
Well.. It’s getting rather late where I am and I’m sitting through a no show. One of those Excess Booking-info pending. I don’t understand those bookings, but almost 99.99% of the time it is cancelled, but I have to sit here any way and imagine I’m teaching. These are the times I usually work on this blog or make another YouTube video to share.
I can’t wait to see you all later have a great Easter Weekend. Happy Teaching!!! 🙂
