From the menu on the teachers’ page, choose: Messages

(1) Title of the message.
(2) Message content. Possibilities here include:
• adjust the design of the text;
• add an image;
• add a (Youtube) video;
• add a file (e.g. pdf);
• add a link:
– this can be an external internet link.
– this can be the address of an Earz game in the app; when the student clicks on this, he/she enters the relevant game directly!
This link always starts with https://play.earz.nl/games/ followed by a number. You can find this number by ‘hovering’ your mouse over the title of the game in question on the teacher page in the game libraries: you will then see the number at the bottom left of the browser screen.
