<p><strong>Hey everyone! Welcome to the Indiana Gateway Digital Academy  LC Community platform! ????</strong> </p><p>Here are the basic features that are important to understand in this new platform: </p><p>???? <strong>Timeline</strong>: This feed shows all activity in the Community overall, including any activity in Groups. </p><p>???? <strong>Events</strong>: All events within our school group or National Community.</p><p>????????‍????‍???????? <strong>Users</strong>: This lists all members within the platform. Members can friend each other. Member Map coming in Phase 2. </p><p>???? <strong>Topics</strong>: Topics are channels to organize popular subjects. When a Story is created, you must select a Topic Label and the content will live inside that Topic. </p><p>???? <strong>Messenger</strong>: This one is obvious but I want to mention that you can turn your Messenger off at certain times of year if that's helpful — instructions to come. </p><p>???? <strong>Feed</strong>: Whether in the main Community or a Group, the feed is the area for discussions. </p><p>???? <strong>Stories</strong>: Stories are where you can add articles, files, or links. This is where you will want to post information such as school calendar, attendance policies, school contact info, etc. </p><p>❎ <strong>Polls</strong>: Polls can be started by anyone. These will be great for Admins to use to gather data. </p>
