How do I get my students to read News items?
If you make your News item more visually interesting by doing things like changing the text color and using bold, students are more likely to notice that the message has changed and thus, are more likely to read it. These options are available on the advanced tab when you create the message. Also be sure to include the post date when adding a News item.
