Teachers

Fanschool
Some Creative Expression classes use the Fanschool website, an online platform where students post topics they are passionate about, within the safety of a teacher-led environment.
Students publish their completed assignments, such as Google Docs and Google Slides, by uploading them to Fanschool, where both teacher and students will offer opinions about the positives of the blog/vlog and, if necessary, offer suggestions on how to improve the work.
