@csstone1161 I feel the same, but our Ps really want to be able to see what the Ss are doing. #gafechat

teenytinytechie Oct 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I hadn't heard of it before - but was also curious if parents needed google accounts #gafechat

A1: guardians receive summary of missing and upcoming work along with class activities #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@wpmsad They only see a summary, so there isn't any links they can click on. I will share an image of what they see #gafechat

It looks like if one teacher signs a student's guardian up for the feature it works in all the google classes. #gafechat

wpmsad Oct 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

. @LISDTechie That would be awesome. Thanks! #gafechat

mbswoods Oct 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@TeacherTegeler no just an e-mail. They just get a log...from what i've seen #gafechat

sew1080 Oct 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 We haven't used it because of the finality of it. Parents connected forever, might not be easy to disconnect if needed #gafechat

TeacherTegeler Oct 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@wpmsad Thanks for the info. I must have heard wrong and this has made me put this feature on the back burner. #gafechat #happytobewrong

@mbswoods You are too sweet! #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@jireland4224 Why do they not let you use the feature? #gafechat

Ms_KatieNieves Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: It's increased the amount of parent emails I've gotten, especially since parents can only view descriptions but not document #gafechat

csstone1161 Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@wpmsad I'd love to have a student and parent view of gafe

LMSinstcoach Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I guess it depends on the school, but having "helicopter" parents seems like a wonderful problem compared to the alternative. #gafechat

jireland4224 Oct 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: to divide the class into different units #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@mbswoods @csstone1161 The guardians are not allowed access to the classrooms. They just see the title & description of your posts #gafechat

RUSDtech Oct 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

L1: Are the emails automatically sent If child misses an assignment? The guardian gets a notification email that it was missed? #gafechat

csstone1161 Oct 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@LISDTechie @mbswoods GC is "assignment mgt" not parental involvement to me. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@mbswoods @JChanter22 I see it another way. I see if as a way for Ps to have talking points w/ Ss about what is happening in class #gafechat

RUSDtech Oct 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@whenirisheyes I’ve told my teachers that if the email address is not on the SIS, don’t add it. That way, it’s filtered thru DO. #gafechat

LisaGuardino Oct 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

That is good info, Katie! #gafechat https://t.co/YTiG2Rtj66

NSchwartzTech Oct 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@whenirisheyes I was just thinking that! #gafechat

A4: Might be tedious, but a T cld create a G-Class for each grp: 1 for writer's wkshp, 1 for guided rdng, 1 for lit circles . . . #gafechat

A5 Some Ts are using it as a "blog" where Ss respond to ? and to other responses to create discussion. #gafechat

LisaGuardino Oct 4 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@TeacherTegeler @LISDTechie Love the exit ticket idea. I’ve been using Forms, but GClassroom would be so much cleaner. #gafechat

A8: Have lots of Ts that want to be able to add assignments and announcements via the calendar! #gafechat

TeacherTegeler Oct 4 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8: Worth repeating... Be able to copy an about page from one classroom to another. So frustrating to build this page over! #gafechat

jennjudkins Oct 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A8 Option for grouping students, ability 4 Ts 2 drag & re-order stream posts, less clunky parent invite #gafechat

Ms_KatieNieves Oct 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

More customization on stream. Also I'd like the announcements to appear a little bolder so they stood out more on the screen #gafechat

KatieJMcNamara Oct 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A8 Do NOT take away ownership from students. No reason....everything is date stamped...big hassle to return assignment #gafechat

RUSDtech Oct 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A8. Two things: 1) ability to easily group students & 2) a rubric grading system, instead of point values. #gafechat https://t.co/D4fNMxEhm7
