Classroom Portals
A classroom portal in Onespot serves as a centralized hub for class directories, newsletters, schedules, and other essential resources. This feature enhances communication between teachers, students, and parents, fostering a more organized and collaborative learning environment.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Classroom Portal
Step 1: Create a New Classroom Portal Screen
