[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is new this year to MCPS middle school and he’s struggling lately with missed assignments.  He says he’s having a hard time compared to his prior school because there are several platforms (Canvas, StudentVue, plus one teacher uses a Google doc with links to presentations/assignments, another teacher uses Google Classroom) and when he goes to the MCPS dashboard it says he has no missing assignments but it’s not always drawing information from the different platforms and sometimes it’s not updated.

Any tips that could help my kid? Would it be too much to ask the guidance counselor for advice to help my kid? I don’t want to be a pain, but my kid is really feeling discouraged.[/quote]

MCPS teachers are not allowed to use Google Classroom in MCPS anymore.

StudentVue and Google Docs are both accessible from Canvas. [b]He will pick it up quickly, I promise[/b], even the elementary Students use Google docs.[/quote]

He won't.  Just when he picks up how one teacher is adding assignments, the semester will change and he will have to learn another method. And each teacher will have their own special place to put assignments. Some will have a link called Assignments. Others will call it something else. Some will even make you go to their unique home page and then get to a calendar , requiring 3 clicks. Sometimes the calendar will have links to the assignments. Sometimes they won't.

It's a nightmare. [/quote]

Seems like good practice for college. And life in general.[/quote]
