This is because a student assigned to their respective group will have "edit" rights, while the other student will have "view" rights. Our Principals, Mr. Huffman, and Mr. Michael, have "viewing" rights with both groups, and can also observe any posts, comments, communication, etc., as it develops throughout our study.
