Grading Multiple Google Slides in Google Classroom.webmGrid View Fix Chrome Extension Update
Grid View Fix Chrome Extension Update
If you use the Grid View Fix Chrome Extension, you may have noticed failures or changes in the past few weeks that have caused incredible frustration among teachers across the country. Essentially, this occurred because the last update of Google Meet ended up breaking this 3rd party extension, and the developer has had a hard time getting it running again so they took it down for a period of time. They have since reposted it, but many of the advanced functions you may have used before are still not functional. You should be able to use the basic version successfully as of now.
