For those of you who currently have an active Taskstream account, you will see a new DRF (Directed Response Folio) 
on your Home Page. This is the location where you will submit all key assignments for fall 2013 and onward. 
Please DO NOT submit work here from previous blocks!

If you created a Taskstream account prior to fall 2015 the DRF you started with has been made inactive, which means you will no longerbe able to access it from the home page. 
Work submitted through that program will still be available to you via the Folios & Web Pages tab though. 
To access the inactive DRF. 
Click on the folios and webpages tab then look for and click on a button on the top right hand side of the page. 
If you log into Taskstream and do not see a DRF, the DRF is not the correct one for your certification area, please email me:
your name, G00#, certification area, and current block so I can enroll you in the correct DRF.
