[nobe-l] Google Classroom

Fri Feb 1 13:52:49 UTC 2019

Dear Laura,

I had no luck and tons of frustration with Chromevox. My school uses Google Classroom, calendars, etc. I am able to manage all my Google stuff on my regular PC. Thankfully I don’t have to teach my students how to use Google docs. Another teacher has that responsibility and my students do their work on paper, not digitally. 

All the best,
Lara Sowell
