We need Google Classroom back!  For real-time close editing of writing, it has no peer!  Canvas's editing and comment function is worse than useless--one little comment box for a whole document.  Using Google Docs through Canvas is unwieldy--possibly by design.  Please bring back Google Classroom!

Our classroom was a distance learning classroom before the pandemic ever hit.  We used nearly exclusively digital technology.  The "distance" was from students' desks to mine.  Now it is from their homes to mine.  The adjustment was very simple.

Canvas is a flawed system that creates more impediments to learning than opportunities for it.  It should not be abandoned and replaced by something even worse, but its centrality should be lessened.

We have seen schools across the district and things are very different from school to school. Some schools allow teachers to work from home while others don't. Some schools deep clean while others don't. Some schools allow teachers to struggle with 32 children in one class while other grades have 13 students for the grade.

Teaching philosophies vary so greatly regarding grading/retention/academic accountability. While we don't want to take away teacher autonomy, I think we've seen students in very similar SES/home backgrounds have completely different academic experiences (different grades and opportunities) based on who their teacher is.

Shout out the schools that are making an effort inside of canvas and parent communication.. if its not a whole school issue at least provide an example for someone to see. There is a lot of talk about how we are not doing this or we need to do that when I know that my school site has done everything including going to the house to get the kids on line.. but no one hears about that! we just hear how we are not doing this or that or parents are confused.
