#Teachers and #academicmastodon :
Does anyone have a good substitute recommendation for using live google docs in the classroom, something that is privacy-conscious?
I often use a live #Google Doc, and sometimes a spreadsheet, having students work on tasks as a class.
Getting away from Google, Microsoft, etc. is the goal here but also preserving student #privacy. Even better if no login is required at all.
Aside from something like an Etherpad, most of the options seem to lead back to the big companies. Firing up my own #Etherpad instance might be an end goal but I won't get to that until summer...
Any suggestions? Please feel free to boost.
