Just some of the new items inlucde:
- Student groups/live collaboration documents
- Drawing question type (in the tests tool). Students have to "draw" for an answer. (can also draw on an image uploaded by the teacher, like a map, etc.)
- Teachers can video chat with a "NON-Toolbox PRO" user. So you can conference with others that don't have a TBP account.
- New "sliding' menus and layout windows for easy access to your online classroom management tools.
- Teachers can now "Turn ON/OFF" tools/sections that they do not use. (so they don't show on your menu).
- FileDrop: a "Dropbox" like desktop application that you can use to easily access your TBP documents, presentations, videos, etc. Drag and drop your TBP files from FileDrop to download,upload and update.
- Teachers can "RE-NAME" activity categories. Such as "Homework" becomes "Exercise" OR "Assignment". "Multimedia Test" can become "Assessment" OR "Evaluation".
- Much, much more!
