Recently over the summer, the Dekalb County school district made the transition from various platforms over to Canvas. This is a completed new platform for the majority of teachers and students, and neither of these parties know how to use the program.

In previous years my teachers and many others have used a variety of things such as Google Classroom, Verge and Microsoft teams. Based on popular opinion Google Classroom is the most user friendly. It also has a mobile option and easy viewing of late, overdue or current assignments.

Because of the transition to Canvas, Dekalb County has blocked Google Classroom of to s number email users. Even still, teachers have students log in with their personal Gmail in order to use Google Classroom.

Google Classroom can be individually managed, unlike Canvas that is managed my administration, making fixing issues much harder.

Sign this petition to bring back Google Classroom and make it unrestricted for teachers to use for their students.

Thank you
