works for the benefits of teachers, students, parents, as well as administrators.

My Site is the new special experience in KNet Portal offering a personalized site for each user.

Every teacher and every student has a unique My Site. My Site is a central location for you to view and manage all of your

documents, tasks. Teachers can check all school and teachers' news through My Site in addition

to the official announcements without navigating to School site and Teachers site.

Besides, the portal offers an attractive e-learning experience. Through Class site, class members (teachers, students, and parents) can effectively collaborate for example by sharing ideas and content which positively affects the education environment.

Teachers assign assignments to certain students or to whole class. Students answer the assignment and return it back to teacher to grade. After grading it, the teachers send it back to students to check score and

comments. Parents track their children easily and contact the school administration,

teachers and other parents.
