NOTE: In September 2021, Google Drive Cloud Assignment will be deprecated and replaced with GA (LTI 1.3).
From FCPS OIT:
Teachers now have the choice of using the existing Google Drive Cloud Assignment or trying the new Google Assignments (LTI 1.3) integration with the External Tool submission type. There are pros and cons to either tool, but we wanted to give our teachers the CHOICE as to which one they’d like to use for the rest of the school year. The biggest capability is it will allow teachers to view student work in progress when using the External Tool, a function that has been missing in the Canvas/Google integration. While you may switch back and forth between the Google Apps and Google Assignments LTI 1.3 when using the External Tool, it is best for students if you eventually settle on one or the other.

Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) purchased by Fayette County Schools and available to all staff. It gives teachers and administrators a centralized place to post learning resources and make the administration of class work simpler while promoting collaboration inside and outside the classroom. It is a centralized site that gives students and parents real-time information about class assignments and assessments. All teachers at FDHS and CGWA must post their assignments and assessments dates into Canvas for students and parents to view in their Canvas calendar.
