For Arbor schools https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017930018-Arbor-integration-with-Google-Classroom It's not free..I'll find out costs. SIMS requires SIMS ID to be set up, if you have a local installation, I don't know how that would work.

Ahh geez, I noticed this last week, I too reached out to the publisher, haven't had a response. Classright was brilliant, easy, free tool to help manage my Classrooms for school that don't have (afford) the likes of Salamander, Locker etc.. It even had an API which allowed me to find old Classrooms that were manually created, old, sitting dormant that I needed to close down/archive. It's impacted me for a couple of schools which is now slowing me down. A simple but effective tool with many options. Anyone know if any alternatives just in case Goldy Arora will not be bringing it back? If Google offered these settings natively in Workspace, we wouldn't need to reply on 3rd party tools. GAM I have used before, just more compicated to use. We have SIMS and Arbor, do you know if they offer any 1st party tools for Google?

I despise GDPR, I'm definitely not a DPO! Once of my schools came to me with a question that their DPO raised with them. - - - Updated - - - I re-read your message and you're referring to the actual DPO, not me haha!

Thanks, I thought the same, and the fact SIMS doesn't give you the option suggests it's not a requirement.

Hello, Our DPO has suggested that class teachers should only be able to access data for their own students, e.g. contact details for parents etc. For years I have been aware that the class teacher group gives teachers access to basic details (read-only) but for all students in the school. Does SIMS have the options to filter for staff as long as they are assigned to their reg groups via pastoral structure? Thank you.

me too! I've just found 15 boxed, brand new in pristine condition. Went to install the software, had issues but put the installer in compatibility mode and it finally installed but doesn't detect the Log-Box, though Windows does after I installed the driver manually. Any updated software? We also have some old Log-IT units too, going to try those next, the software seems to be a little newer.

Thanks mavhc, I've emailed TTS, just waiting for a response, don't think it will be good news. We'll just have to use them as standalone once they get used to using the Probotix software.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, mine also says "Converter" on WIndows 7 were you able to resolve this issue? We will be moving to Windows 10 soon. thanks.

Hi Fiza That's exactly how mine is set up too, Staff have all enabled but for students chat is off, hangout meets and google hangouts (under one app section) is on but settings like external access, making calls and video meets is all turned off. Weird, i'll post some pics of my settings too.

Still wondering How Fiza got that message without turning off Hangouts as a whole.

Hi Fiza, I tested it and unfortunately the test student can still send messages, any idea on which specific setting you used to block chat? Thanks

Hi Fiza Yes, because call and video restrictions are in place on my test user, but the message function is still enabled and can't be disabled. The Video button takes them to meet where it tells the user they can only join and not create. The Phone button says the call feature isn't available. The Message button still allows users to search user, send messages and create message groups.....

Yes, Wonde (Paid) can pull data from SIMS and create accounts for staff and students. They also have additional features like SSO for other external services, helping kids log in to to things like Mathletics etc. They also have a easy login feature to create emoji or QR code logins. https://www.wonde.com/

Hi All In the same situation, I have disabled the same as suggested above, however, if I log in as a test student, I can still open the hangouts app which then lets students send messages to each other directly which we want to turn off, but still allow teachers to create meets for students to join, is this possible?

Are you talking about local policies for computer/user settings? I don't think there is a way without DC's. We've made a decision on Microsoft's platform but haven't auctioned it yet. Hopefully soon once we upgrade to Server 2016 and Windows 10 which has taken priority over moving to the cloud. I will update the thread once we do.
