[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I check both every day but I probably prefer emailing parents from .org.
Either is fine though.
Emailing from parent view is fine too but direct email is better because it is more direct and less steps to answer [/quote]

I check .net maybe once per quarter. [/quote]

Are you an ES teacher?

In MS and HS, students complete most work in GSuite so there’s notifications about comments and other file activity that comes to .net.[/quote]

I teach in a MS. Everything is posted and graded in Canvas, then synced to Synergy every week or so. If a student sends me a message through Canvas or Synergy it’s forwarded to my .org. I reply through Synergy because I have to log it in a variety of communication logs. My admin requires 2 way communication with parents for certain things. Any google files I need to share are done in Canvas. Either linked in the assignment or uploaded to the files section. This also makes it easier for parents to help their kids are home complete any missing work.

Everyone has a preference that matches how they work. Canvas only sends automatic notifications for comments, late work, submission, or resubmission. It doesn’t notify you of so many things that otherwise happen in GSuite. For example, that a student requested access to a file. We do a lot of collaborative work. Students forget to share with everyone in their group. Or a student made a comment in the Doc or Slide itself. Canvas Speedgrader doesn’t show those at all. And you can’t share Google Files to parents within Canvas itself. I do it all the time through gmail. It does what I need and is easier to manage on my phone when I’m away from my school desk. I’ve asked parents to contact me through .net. I check the other 3-4 methods a couple times a week max.

For parents, the best bet is to ask each teacher. [/quote]
