2/26 New Feature Spotlight: Switch To Student View And Improved Video Upload

Hi TechSmart Teachers, 

We just wanted to share some new features that we think you'll find useful! 

You can now switch between the two sides of the Platform and experience the student side while being logged in as a teacher.

Our video upload feature has been updated as well -  the Video Upload Queue will now appear in the bottom right corner of every page in the TechSmart Platform so that you can monitor the status of your uploading video. 

Check out the images below to see these in action.

• Switch to the student view by going to the account menu and selecting "View as Student"
• Revert back to the teacher view by going to the account menu and selecting "View as Teacher"
• Use this to see what students are going to experience in your class, and get screenshots or videos if needed
• Have one central My Code that contains all coding projects opened as a student and as a teacher

What's changed?
