We did brightbytes as well and our data was NOT good from S, P, and T perspective. Need to step it up #gafechat

A6: Topics has been a GREAT tool for me. But I think it all comes down to guiding your Ss through your setup so they know it #gafechat

samcarney Aug 15 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I sent this out to the Ts at my school because it is such a great resource! #gafechat

So in the high school classroom it might be more of a digital portfolio? Trying to think how I could use this in AP Chem! #gafechat

A6. Organized my Gmail inbox w/ rules (Comments, Late Work) so these things don't get lost in inbox. Also use for specific forms. #gafechat

A6: love to color coordinate classes; assignment removed once due date had passed - my Ss prefer not to see what's already done #gafechat

mr_middle_2 Aug 15 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Any and all work can be saved with written or audio reflection. Best part is that parents see everything that is shared by S. #gafechat

In reply to @samcarney, @AHamiltonCUSD, @Seesaw

I'm going to suggest this to my admin...great way to provide feedback. Is all evaluating done through GDocs and GSuite? #gafechat
