Messages

We write the message by selecting New message from the Room tool:

We will get to the editor where the text can be typed:

To make access to documents as easy as possible we add an Internal link by clicking on the button Insert internal link. Then we will get to a display of folders, files etc. Here we have a view of that window. Access to the relevant file is by opening the correct folder:

Notice it has been ticked off for the document to open in new window. The link gets the same title as your document:

And this is what it looks like on the My today page:

The benefit of creating an internal link to the document is obvious: the students click directly on it and hey presto! (unless their PC is slow..) the document opens without having to look for it in an resource folder structure.

Remember that if you wish to alter or delete a message it must be done in the room where it was written. You cannot delete it from the Today-page, for instance. In addition, the text Read more will appear if the message is of a certain size - click on it to read the whole message. (you can customise your Today page to view all details in a message - to avoid the Read more option)
