Using the Teacher Text Tool

The Teacher Text tool allows you to add text anywhere on your assignments. Your students will not be able to edit this text but they are able to see it, so it is a great way to add your own instructions, tips, accommodations, or extra information to your students.


To add Teacher Text, click on your activity or click and drag to draw a box. The Tools menu will pop-up; select "Teacher Text" from the right column. Or you can click "Insert" on your tool bar and choose "Teacher Text" from the Content Tools column. Either way, it looks like this:


Once you select "Teacher Text" the editor will open automatically. Click into the text box and start typing!

You can also change the font, color, boldness and a lot of other formatting options. You can even insert an image or math formulas. 


Click "Save" when you are done. 

When you have your Teacher Text box selected, on your toolbar you can:

  • Change the fill color or make your box transparent. Just click on the bucket icon and pick whichever you'd like.
  • Change the border color or get rid of the border completely. Simply click the pencil icon and choose your preference.
  • Make the Teacher Text draggable for a drag-and-drop question. In order to do this, be sure to check the box next to "Draggable" on the toolbar.
