The 'hack' that I've shared with one of our coordinators piloting team drives is that she and her teachers can use Shareable links to post the URL to an item located in a Team Drive in the rich content editor in Canvas. It works, but goodness it would be a pain to have to engage is this tab jumping copy+paste workflow each time. Perhaps an additional LTI would be a solution.

We are slowly rolling out Team Drives here in Brookline, MA and I just had a Coordinator ask about Team Drive + Canvas integration .....I'm at a loss. How can we fully leverage the power of Team Drives if Canvas does not allow us to select the Team Drive at the top level of our G Suite menu ...... -_______-

I'm curious to know how this situation impacts others in the K12 area. Please post comments below! I've created an Idea around building functionality into the Assignment editor in Canvas so teachers could set a due date and independently set a term so the grade goes where it's suppose to go but the late policies built into the course are respected. If you're interested you can read and VOTE UP this Idea here: Ability to set term for an assignment grade Thanks! Nathan

Hello all, I just posted the following as a reply to an archived Idea entitled adjust change grade setup by term and perhaps others in the K-12 arena grapple with this issue and would like to brainstorm possible options for their teachers. In Brookline Public Schools here in Brookline, Massachusetts, our District Canvas Team came up with a novel solution to the issue of how assignment group weights are fixed for the duration of a course. We know some teachers need to have the flexibility to modify assignment group weights term-to-term. Example: In Q1 at the high school there is not mid-term, but in Q2 there is and teachers would like to increase the weight of the 'Assessment' category due to the presence of this larger formative assessment. At the same time we have many teachers who do not need this ability. These teachers set assignment group weights and leave them for the entire year. This is more the practice in our middle grades. In order to provide folks the option to choose either/or, what we do is we make 5 courses for a teacher: One course is set to a full year (FY) calendar while the others are set to quarter-based (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) calendars. Then the teacher chooses at the beginning of the year to publish the FY course or the Q1 course (subsequently publishing the Q2-Q4 courses as the year progresses). Additionally, for 9-12 teachers, we provide a 3rd option: They can request to have a semester-based course made for them manually because the Full Year and Quarter-based classes do not support their flow. After teachers make their selection they can then delete all the other course shells so theirs Courses list is more manageable. This process put more work on us at the district level, but it leads to more choices for our teachers, providing them with the best-set shells possible at the beginning of the year. I'm attaching the one-sheet that we've drafted for teachers that we walk them through in the fall so they understand their options and any applicable caveats. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Nathan

You're right! I overlooked that fact! I've even used the 'pin discussion' feature!

I would like the echo the voice of teachers I support here in Brookline, MA, USA and ask for the ability to PIN announcements that are or greater import than others. A pinned area is something that exists in Google Groups and I've found it very valuable in helping me keep important information front/center/easily accessible for users.

Thank you for this explanation! This should be a NOTE at the beginning of any guidance on how to use the Decorative image tool. Have a great weekend.

What does 'decorative image' mean? What's the virtue of 'alt text'? I do not see this information explained, though Canvas is pushing this out. Please unpack for non-tech users. Thank you.

I was just meeting with a small group of teachers at one of our elementary schools here in Brookline, MA last Friday (6/9/17) and they were eager to get this feature request in! I hope it's added to the overall update that Grades/Gradebook will be undergoing this summer.
