[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also worth noting that Canvas can be very hard to manage. My HS DD's teacher sent a note saying students needed to find a certain form linked from part of Canvas. Neither of us could find it. I spent a good 30 min looking for link. I have no idea where it was. We emailed the teacher (who still has not responded).

We've also had multiple times this year where she submitted assignments somehow to the wrong spot, then the teacher counted them as late and marked down the grade.

This year has been so hard to manage vs. in-person school where kids could actually just turn stuff in. I hate electronic school.[/quote]

I don’t understand why things are so complicated. Why not just have a Google drive with all the assignments, due dates etc, and then email or upload to your own user folder that is shared with teacher for turning in. Done that’s it. Track grades in a spreadsheet. Offices do similar work all the time electronically not sure why education management systems make everything so much more complicated other than to sell stupid admin office people more crud.

?? That would be like a classroom where they just get handed worksheets to fill out and hand them back in. Just like in a real classroom, they use a lot of platforms for doing and submitting work, it's not just typing out assignments and submitting documents. My MS and HS kids do work using at least six different kinds of software between them (e.g., IXL, Brainpop, Newsela, Nearpod, Quizlet, MathQuest PLUS Google Docs) plus they use MS Teams for virtual class and some teachers post things there as well. The problem is that they are doing half of it at home now, instead of in the classroom, so if they can't find something or don't do it right away the teacher can't troubleshoot. [/quote]
