It would be so helpful if teachers were made aware of any IT issues when logging into Koala Go. Many teachers are prepping for classes on Koala Go right before class time begins, and are not actively checking the Facebook group each day before their classes begin to see if there are known IT issues. Having a Pop-Up notification directly on Koala Go (maybe via Chat or something similar) would allow teachers more time to prepare alternate lessons (if the co-browsers are having issues, for example.) Finding out this information (via the suggested pop-up) before a student enters class would give teachers more time to clip/paste lesson slides or upload alternate material to the whiteboard, for example, without any interruption to a student's class time. It would save any embarrassment for the teacher and lessen parent frustration, too--IF teachers actually know and see the notification upon log-in and can then react ahead of time. (Or it would allow us a few extra minutes to let students know that we will have to screenshare, for example.) It may also save your IT support multiple questions happening over chat. All in all, a notification directly on Koala Go would keep teachers/student from losing any class time trying to troubleshoot.

Would it be possible to allow us to arrange our activity folder labels (colored boxes) into any order we would like? For example, I want to keep my student folders together, or to be able to move new students' names next to the current students. Even an alphabetic or a numerical system (or a renaming feature?) that helps arrange them would be great. Please see example in my screenshot. I've tried redoing these (very time-consuming), but still haven't managed to get the labels to align in the way that makes sense for me. I know that is not a priority right now, but I'm adding it here so it can be voted upon and revisited. Thank you.

I would love a shortcut keys to be able to easily delete locked elements in the playground and white board. It's tedious to have to click on each element, click unlock, and then click delete. Especially, when you have several locked elements.

A text tool so that we can create a text box and type on surfaces in the playground in real time - without a separate box opening up for typing.

Hi, my students often use the chatbox when I have translations turned on. However, when they write in Chinese they can't see the English translation (only I can), is it possible for them to also see this so they can learn new words more independently. Thanks

Hi, sometimes the translation is not always accurate. I'd like to be able to copy and paste what KoalaGo translates in the chatbox into Google translate to check but when I try to copy the text it copies lots of code across with it too. Is it possible to resolve this? Thanks

My students have requested clear blocks (for windows), white blocks, and doors. Ideally in the freebie section 🙏🏻😂

Any chance we could get "snap to grid" type options? It drives me bananas that I can't line up my letter tiles because there's no snap to grid type option...

When there are multiple users on a screen, even 3, you cannot make a specific student larger so that you can see what they are doing. If they are writing on a pape,r and you want to watch them write, the 3rd person gets cut off. If you pull the screen to the right the teacher gets bigger and cuts off the students. This function would be helpful to remote teachers. I had students following directions in a video and was trying to watch to see that they were all completing the steps correctly.

We need Koala Go to be an APP, especially for chinese students.
