You can't take attendance in Google classroom because schools use MIS/SIS software to track attendance/assessment data etc. Without links back to the schools MIS data it gets held in a Google silo where it's not useful to anyone.


Thank you! Chesterton's fence strikes again. There had to be a reason for this misfeature.

Then the question is why would schools use Google classroom at all then if they have their own MIS/SIS.

As I was teaching to adults I was puzzled on how to effectively use Google Classroom.
