Some Teacher Pages themes use highlighted pages as large navigation links in your school webpage layout. For instance, supposed that your site has 20 separate pages. However, you want your site to have 3 main links at the top of the page: “Student life”, “About our school” and “Athletics calendar”. You could highlight those three pages to promote them from the navigation list to the top of the webpage layout as a highlighted page.

Create a new question
You can choose to create several different types of questions.
- Multiple choice
- True or false
- Constructed response
- Multipart constructed response
Create a new passage
A passage can be used by multiple questions. On a test, a student will first be prompted to read the passage, and then will be presented with the questions that are associated with it.
Passages may be used across banks. For instance, you could organize all of your passages within one bank, and then choose to write questions based on that passage and organize them within another bank.
Create a new bank
Banks are used to organize questions, passages and grading rubrics.
As you create your own questions you may use new banks to organize them into groups. You can share banks within your own school, and so it’s easy to create questions that other teacher can use on their own tests.
