[quote=Anonymous]MCPS elementary teacher & parent here:
 
Problem w these shared docs is that the chit chat that happens in these ES google docs usually turns mean spirited w sharing of gossip, roasts, rumors, etc.

While at home, kids can access the google doc & embed YouTube videos that they are able to access from home. That document can then be opened at school & embedded inappropriate YouTube video can then be viewed.

My own elementary aged son & daughter do have school-issued chromevooks, but we have them hidden in house & kids can only use them if we are available to oversee use.

Last year my daughter was in some sort of google doc group of 7 third graders. In the history of the document, I could see that some kids were adding to document at 1am!! It was lots of gossip & roasting of classmates….not nice. I let the classroom teacher know & we had a long talk w my daughter about expectations and responsibility surrounding computer use and the harms of cyber bullying.
