Frequently Asked Questions

How do I navigate the Tech Scaffold website?

Why can't I search for teachers on the "Teacher Community" page?

You need to be logged in to your account to be able to search our teacher community. Please log in to your account, and you'll be able to find teachers with similar technology interests.

How is the list of "Teachers Similar to Me (and my classrooms)" determined?

We aim to match you with other teachers who use and feel about technology the same way you do, and potentially have the same technology needs and purposes in their classrooms. Teachers similar to you are those who have the same "Subject Area" you have and have the same levels of technology interest, comfort, and experience you have.

How do I follow / unfollow another teacher?

When you find teachers whose projects are interesting and useful to you, you can add them to your "Following" list so you can quickly find their profiles and projects. Locate the user you want to follow or unfollow (such as, in your "Teachers Similar to Me" or "Teachers Following Me" list), and click the link that brings you to that user's profile. At the top of the page next to the "Block" link, click the "Follow" link.

How do I block / unblock another user?
