Manage Google Drive Features for Classroom Safety
Hide Google Drive Features is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the safety of students using Google Suite tools in educational environments. This free add-on allows administrators to disable various functions within Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Sites, ensuring a more controlled and secure online experience. Key features include the ability to restrict internet image and video searches, prevent sharing and commenting, and block the insertion of links and external data requests.
The extension offers flexibility for administrators through a configuration file, enabling tailored blocking options to suit specific classroom needs. Users can choose to set all functions to 'blocked' or selectively enable features by adjusting the configuration settings. This makes it a valuable tool for educators aiming to limit distractions and protect students from potentially objectionable content while utilizing Google’s productivity suite.
