[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids in middle school in APS. Many teachers between them. None of these issues. Sometimes they can’t find a link or have a submission issue.  They work it  out with their teacher. All of them have been responsive. I don’t get involved with Canvas and only check grades and missing assignments on ParentVue   We’ve had no major issues like I am reading about here.  Are we just lucky or are there a vocal few on here?[/quote]

I think it's a mixed bag. I have senior and sophomore. Senior had no issues all year. Sophomore has had a very hard time with DL. Some teachers are very flexible and supportive and have their Canvas set up to be easy to see what's due and when. Others, their page is hard to follow, doesn't have a clear list of assignments and grades. One only puts the grades in Student/ParentVue. [b]The school really should require teachers to follow a consistent set-up for Canvas.[/b][/quote]

That was one of the things they were supposed to do for this year--they "learned" last spring how differently teachers used it, and over the summer were supposed to figure out the "best" system and get all the teachers to use it. But apparently however each teacher sets up their stuff then affects how it works, so if they screwed something up in how they designed their pages, then everything flowed from there. And classes aren't exactly the same, anyhow--some teachers use worksheets and some use a variety of materials and some use textbooks, etc. But yes, it is really hard when stuff is not consistent, and harder when the teachers aren't responsive when you ask where things are, or where/how to submit, or the window to download or access or submit something closes by the time you find it.
