Although there are a couple of ways to check your grades, here is the foolproof method.
NOTE: Grades are not available during the school day [there are certain specific days when grade access is left open – there are rare.]. If you try to check your grades when access is disabled, you will receive an error message.
LOG IN using your school ID (lunch code) starting with mds – example: mds12345 Enter your password as given by the school (used with LMS and Apple ID). Students DO NOT create an account. There are other ways to access grades, but this is recommended.
Again, grades are not available during school hours. You may get a “disabled” or “unable to see grades” error during school hours.
Make SURE your Notability files are backing up to Google Drive
First, Open Notability.
2. On the screen where your documents are listed, at bottom left, click the gear icon.
Gear = Settings. ? = help. i = app info.
3. Select AutoBackup.
4. if Google Drive has a checkmark, your files are being backed up. Look at the bottom of the box to check the location – the iPad Guy suggests /Notability/ as the location [i.e. inside a folder named “Notability”]
If there is NO checkmark, then click on the text Google Drive. Login.
5. IMPORTANT: In the File Format section, change the selection from “note” to PDF+Recording”. This is so you can open up your notes just about anywhere.
Getting files from Drive into Notability
The middle icon is “import”.
FIRST:
Get your Dividers and Subjects setup in Notability
Select a location[folder] in Notability. THEN select what to import. Drive is organized just like notability was – if you had folders/dividers in Notability, then you will see folders in Drive, inside the Notability folder. Your Notability selection is WHERE the files will be imported to.
You will need to do this for each folder/divider you set up.
Once you get Notability setup:
Open up Notability
Click the icon, top right, that looks like a square with an arrow going INTO it
Select Google Drive
It should automatically show you the Notability folder on your Drive.
Select what you’d like to import.
REMEMBER THAT Folders on Drive = “Subjects” in Notability.
