You as the teacher can manage and monitor all students work- so it help with Cyber- Safety.
Google Page can be linked, you can upload photos etc.
You can have a teacher dashboard (it's not free) its $4 per student per year, it can be part of the activity fee.
You can do all teacher planning, LT plans etc. If you leave the school or something happens- you can always access work in the shared place.
ICT help desk- is a Google FORM.

Student Lead interviews
In week 2 this term we had Parent Interviews, a 3 way interview driven by students. At the interviewWe discussed the reports, students shared their work, goals and achievements with their parents. The parents were encouraged to be active in their students learning and discuss student learning and goals openly. This was very positive! Parents were amazed to see the amount of work that the students do in class. Not alot of discussion was needed between parents and teachers as the reports were so informative.
At the end of each term we sent books home for parents to sign and leave a positive comment- this is just a snapshot of the work students do! I love watching the kids show of all their hard work, they are so proud :o)
