[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It came to my attention that young ES kids are using Google Drive to “text” each other during the school day (via a shared Google doc), make screencast recordings, recordings of themselves, etc. My DC is in lower elementary school. I was really shocked to find this on their Drive. DC is otherwise a good student. Parents, I recommend you taking a peek there to see what may be happening during the school day. Don’t think the teacher has any control or oversight over this and it’s a big blind spot.[/quote]

Um...hello like where have you been. One quarter of the school year is done[/quote]

Kid only started doing it in the past few weeks.[/quote]

It's sad that it's an ES issue now.  I knew it was a problem with the MS and HS students, but it's just another reason to wait longer to stick kids on Chromebooks all day.[/quote]

My child is 15 and as soon as they were handed chromebooks in the before times, she and her friends did this. It was an instantaneous issue.

And now in high school... it's NOT an issue. Nobody uses a shared doc to distract themselves in class! Youtube is available because a lot of courses need Youtube access, but if the teacher decides, they can shut off any and all external websites for the duration of their class. There's a special software teachers use for this. Teachers can see, if they wish, anything a student is doing on their chromebook.
