Why does the school need to disincentivize them working together?

Could there be a team project where they must use the groupware suite to solve for learning objectives?

In HS, we had a "students in small groups take a few weeks to prepare a lesson plan and teach one another" (with the instructor to fill in as necessary) that brought understanding.

In MS, there was a shared drive folder called "Ralph Nader _files/" - that looked like the report on politics and Save as HTML report - was full of ROMs and emulators until.

But that was 8th grade. ("Eighth Grade", "Good Boys")

It sounds like you're "good cop, bad coppin'" them. Good, good.

Perhaps there's a way to use social instincts and technology for learning objectives.

"Why does the school need to disincentivize them working together?" The school doesn't want them using this tool to send messages to one another during class or send inappropriate memes using it.

So instead of asking them not to make inappropriate memes (don't think you could honestly convince students not to chat with one another digitally during class, if option exists) they want to nuke the entire tool.

This school reprimanded me for not using go guardian to remotely monitor what websites they were trying to visit. I told my students it's a gross invasion of privacy for anyone but your parents.

Lots of problems here. They are also TERRIFIED of lawsuits. I couldn't get them to unblock neil.fun because IT convinced the principal their are links to porn sites from Neil.fun

I showed otherwise but they refused to believe their own eyes. Every year it seems I have to sell more of my soul to digital fascism to keep my job.

IDK, "fine, due to no gapps sharing due to certain issues, then everyone must write a professional ScholarlyArticle manuscript with two columns, a title, authors, and abstract at the top" (with e.g. Notepad, LyX, Overleaf, CoCalc's time slider, LaTeX in $ \text{Jupyter notebooks} $ , $$ as /sigma \textit{Markdown} $$, and code with test coverage and docs)

These days it's pretty simple to generate a meme generator tool; but still the cost of moderation (is part of the Accounting Equation for a team/org/business with limited funding amd operating costs and margin).
