Here are 5 things you can check off to ensure that your Frog is inviting to 5-18 year-olds: **![Icon_01](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Frog%20Ribbits/07%20-%202024/Icon_01.jpg?width=80&height=80&name=Icon_01.jpg) The last notice posted was recent** The noticeboard widget makes it easy for any teacher to post school news. If notices aren’t fresh, don’t be surprised when they are ignored. **![Icon_02](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Frog%20Ribbits/07%20-%202024/Icon_02.jpg?width=80&height=80&name=Icon_02.jpg) There is a gallery** Ideally every event in school should be celebrated with photos and these should be shared via Site Timeline or Image Carousel widgets. **![Icon_03](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Frog%20Ribbits/07%20-%202024/Icon_03.jpg?width=80&height=80&name=Icon_03.jpg) There are current polls** Polls are such a quick way to get engagement. Ask 2 or 3 questions each week, ranging from pop culture opinions to favourite assemblies. Students will gravitate to them and naturally begin to move off to other areas. **![Icon_04](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Frog%20Ribbits/07%20-%202024/Icon_04.jpg?width=80&height=80&name=Icon_04.jpg) A book of the week** Check with your school librarian and set up a book club. Even better if you can get some trusted students to run this section. Using the Frog Page widget, you can embed a page from another site and allow them to edit that, without having to give them permissions to edit the main dashboard. **![Icon_05](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Frog%20Ribbits/07%20-%202024/Icon_05.jpg?width=80&height=80&name=Icon_05.jpg) Your student council has a say on what goes on the pages** You don’t need to come up with all the ideas, give your students a voice and let them help you make your school’s Frog engaging!   With summer just around the corner, perhaps this is a good time to revise your dashboards ready for the new academic year!
