A3: I'm new to Google classroom but am looking forward to using it as my 'starting station' for my student.
#fusdTchat
__jamesanderson
Jul 6 @ 7:41 PM EDT
A3: Our school dynamic is majorly focused on using online tools. We use Google Drive, Google Classroom very often to learn

A4 students are struggling with domain logins I'm not sure how to get around this one.
#fusdTchat
ProfD_Mac
Jul 6 @ 7:52 PM EDT
@CharmaineGeorge
That is a good point. I have heard that the Ss coming up through the younger grades are more proficient at this.
#fusdTchat
__jamesanderson
Jul 6 @ 7:52 PM EDT
A4: One thing that holds back Ss from learning within the digital landscape is being afraid of the unknown. There is so much!
#fusdTchat
ProfD_Mac
Jul 6 @ 7:55 PM EDT
A4: Disadvantage of Google Classroom is there is no grade book function
#fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge
Jul 6 @ 7:57 PM EDT
@ProfD_Mac
I agree It creates an extra step to transfer grades to Atlas
#fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge
Jul 6 @ 7:58 PM EDT
@__jamesanderson
You are absolutely correct
#fusdTchat
CharmaineGeorge
Jul 6 @ 7:59 PM EDT
A4 when you don't have access to devices or internet is down, you are stuck to improv so always have a backup plan
