Accessing Group Spaces Accessing the group, or administering a group is accomplished by first logging in to the Faculty/Staff Portal. At the foot of the page there are two links:


Use your Account: <Your Name> link to administer your site including layout, membership, etc. Typically, you should not use these tools without further collaboration and/or training


Use your Groups link to add content and view your site. Elements can include a blog, media, resources and lists of recent activities.

Blog in Your Group Space



  • Blogs can’t be viewed on the Home page (probably because blogs take up a lot of space with the archives, posts, and comments). To view the blog, click on the Blog button in the horizontal navigation menu on your page.
  • However, when you post on your blog, the fact that you posted will show up in your Activity Stream (an element that does live on your Home page). 
  • Also, parents can subscribe to alerts on your blog, so they will get email alerts when you post something new! They click on Alerts in the top right corner of your blog. (see image below)
