we did this in the late 2000s when schools banned chat programs. Just working in Google docs teach.

proudblond@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoMy kid last year in 5th grade (or maybe even the year before?) and his classmates figured out they could use shared Google Docs on their school accounts to have chats with each other, during school. The parent side of me rolled my eyes but the 80s kid in me was legitimately proud. Did I narc on them? Hell no.
The one hilarious thing is that all sorts of new social issues arise with this kind of workaround. Document names get changed, someone deletes something that someone else thinks is important, etc., and they have to work it out. So it’s a learning experience, for sure!

+1 just for using “narc”. Which by the way, reminds me every time, of the arcade game of the same name. Loved that game. 🚀

I remember doing that in Economics in high school in like 2013. The document was named “Totally work related” and the teacher saw it, laughed, and just told us to pay attention. Idk if he was impressed or what, but he didn’t even make us delete it.

reminds me of how way back in middle school i made a mmo-styled chat world in nothing but a shared google sheet. it lasted 2 weeks before the teachers had to ruin the fun for everyone (their excuse was that people typed slurs in it, but that’s bs because I would erase their edits and permanently ban them within minutes). i would also share obfuscated links to games and such on a hidden page, good times.
