Classroom (Teachers)

Teachers either need additional message options to send to students or preferably a place where we could type our own messages. I need to be able to message students "Hey! You're on the wrong website." or "I can see that you're playing games and wasting class time."

It would be nice for the messages to pop up more in the middle of their screens rather than the bottom corner and make them click okay in order for the message to go away. I also saw that if the settings gear is clicked on on the message pop up that they can click turn off notifications. I don't know if that actually takes away the ability to message them, but I also don't want to find out the hard way by trying it on a student's computer.

It would be helpful for students to be able to respond if you send a message to their screen.

Increasing the size of message box as it appears on student screens, as well as the length of time it is on the screen. Right now it is a small box in the bottom right and only appears for about 5 seconds, students are not seeing the message because it is small and disappears so quickly. SOLUTION: Large message box in the center of the screen so that students cannot ignore messages.

Allow teachers to make their own quick messages that can be saved.

Please check your email. Did you finish your graded make up work and submit it? Did you finish your assignment?

Make them bigger! Make students have to click out of them in order to keep working. Students are missing them.

A lot of times the things I need to tell students doesn't fall under the 3 messages that are the current options.

Messages teachers send to students should show up in the middle of the screen and/or larger so a student does not miss them. They should also not disappear until a student has acknowledged the teachers message.
