Teachers cannot easily add images to assignments. This is very limiting! The Text item in class Bulletin boards has the ability to insert images (not in the most ideal way--we'd like to insert images "inline"--but this is better than nothing).
To go a bit further, all text boxes should be the same with the same features. I see at least 3 different ways of editing text (Bulletin Board Text, Topics Text, Assignment Description). These differences make the portal harder to use and harder to provide training.
Our art teacher would love to put examples in the description so that students have to download the examples but can see everything from 1 page. Kids hate clicks so seeing examples in 1 place would be great.
