The Comment Bank is a feature that merges student data into a prepared comment so that the student name and gender are recognised automatically.
Open PowerTeacher Pro.
Select Settings > Comment Bank
To create a bank of mergable comments you will need to add your personal comments into the comment bank.
To do this, select the Add button
Create your first flexible comment.
Write the comment - but instead of using a student name or their gender pronoun, click and insert the appropriate option from the Smart Text list.
The Smart Text list will look at student data and add correct names (First and/or Last), relationships (son/daughter) and pronouns (Him/Her and He/She as well as him/her and he/she).
Select carefully, as Smart Text is only as accurate as your compiled comment and the database information.
Press SAVE
The comment is now part of your personal My Comment Bank.
To activate the comment, select the + sign beside the comment. The merged comment will appear in the student comment box.
Navigate to the next student. To apply the same code, press the + button again. You may select alternate or additional codes if you have them created.
Please contact your division ICT facilitator to discuss strategies and options for using this Comment Bank feature.
