Students have a home screen similar to that of teachers with their school in the upper left, the news river, and a calendar. While teachers see a list of all of the classes they are currently teaching, the students' Classes panel will display a list of the classes that they are currently enrolled in. For each class, the student will be shown the name of the class, a picture of the teacher, and a counter of how many new items are in the class.
