All work must be completed in Google Apps from start to finish unless explicitly instructed otherwise by the teacher. This practice serves multiple purposes:
Helps teachers provide feedback by giving a better understanding of the student's thinking and process. This helps teachers understand how students reached conclusions in their writing.
Help students understand their own writing process so that they can become better writers
Provides insight and context to situations involving academic integrity
Auto-saving of work prevents loss or corrupted files
If students are unable to provide an assignment that was completed in Google Apps from start to finish, they may be asked to redo the assignment at the next SSH. Repeat patterns of this behavior will be treated as academic misconduct.
