  2. I have found your info extremely helpful, and have a question. How do you change the \”home\” icon (the one that takes you back to the home page) to some other name (\”back\”)? My lower functioning students think it represents going home, and become quite upset when their request can\’t be honored.

    1. Are you talking about the little home icon on the bottom of the page in the editing bar? If that is what you are talking about, I don\’t think there is any way to change that icon.

    2. Would like to know if you\’ve found a way to change the home icon/word on the home page. I\’ve spent countless hours trying to find something –

  3. Can you please email as to how to add a button into chat please? It says to select the pencil but I do not see where the pencil is. I work with our school district and I need to add a button into the students chat. Thank you.
