How should I lay out my website?
You have the flexibility of laying out your class in a variety of ways. You can create as many pages and sub pages as necessary. You can arrange your pages and content by date, category, topic, chapter - whatever makes sense for you and your students. Some educators choose to create a page and sub pages for each unit they teach, while others prefer to organize their pages based on a general topic.
There are also a variety of ways to organize the information on any page - you're never stuck with only one layout that you have to follow on every page. Once you get started, if you change your mind, you can rearrange as desired by dragging and dropping content to a different location or even a different page (by using the clipboard feature at the top of the pages list to the left).
What is the class URL?
Your class URL is created automatically when you set up your class, but you can change this URL so that it's easy to read and remember.
To keep the URL simple, select a short, concise name for your class. The URL for your class is https://mylearning.powerschool.com/yourname/yourclass, where your name is your username and your class is the name you gave your class. (e.g. If your username is jsmith and your class name is math, the URL would be https://mylearning.powerschool.com/jsmith/math.)
