  2. We will ensure that we are following the General channel so click this channel and click the ellipsis to display the options. Click Follow this channel.


  3. Select your PLC channel. Click on the favourite star symbol.


  4. Select the ellipsis on your PLC channel. Select Follow this channel.



  5. Select the Professional Development Resources channel. Click on the favourite star symbol.



  6. Select the ellipsis on Professional Development Resources channel. Select Follow this channel.



  7. You should now see notifications in the Activity icon. Also, when new material is published, the channel will become bold.
