I'm the teacher who requires students to use their Google Accounts. It's easy to "force" them to use it. I require that each group add me. Proof of collaboration is one of the criteria on my rubrics. Whenever they make changes, I can see them because there is a log on the right side of the screen. Kids are not going to do the work twice just so they can hang out on Kik.

I like you!

I like this teacher too! I especially love that (s)he's watching the proportion of work for each child, the level of collaboration, and that it's part of the grade.

Sorry, but I have a different perspective here. My mother didn't allow television at all before high school, and movies were only for educational use. We had assignments for which we were supposed to count minutes of commercials during one program, figure out how many programs were aimed at children on during one hour (or how many were aimed at children), how many commercials were aimed at children, etc.; every single time, my mother sent a note to school explaining that we didn't have a television, and the teacher couldn't penalize us for not having access. Of course, my mother made us do a report each time, even when the teacher didn't require it... Anyway, if a project requires access to technology that the child can't access at home, the teacher can't penalize the student.
