Google Classroom

 

             Have you heard of Google classroom?

Goggle classroom is a suite of online tools that allows teachers to set assignments, have work submitted by students, to mark, and to return graded papers. it was created as a way to get eliminated paper in classes and to make digital learning possible.

why use Google classroom?

1. Google Classroom is easy to use. 

Compared to other LMS (Learning Management Systems) that have been popular over the past decade, Google Classroom is amazingly simple. Setting up a new classroom doesn’t take much time or expertise. Our tech team trained for about an hour, and all of us had a classroom set up and running by the end of the session.

2. Google Classroom helps you to communicate more efficiently. 

You enter the email addresses of the students just once, and classroom communication is done. Just by entering the student in the classroom, the teacher has an email group, a discussion group, and a Google Calendar automatically created. And it’s easy to add and remove students from the class as necessary.

3. With Google Classroom, collaboration is easier outside of school 

(i.e., Flipped Classroom). Again, it’s Cloud-based and accessible from anywhere with a connection. Students can share assignments and work from home together to complete them. Collaboration isn’t just limited to working in a group with other peers. A teacher can flip the classroom by sharing a video to go live in the evening, requiring students to view it that night to prepare for a quiz on it the next day. The possibilities are endless.

4. Teacher planning is easy, and the up-front time is worth it.

 More new features in Google Classroom allow teachers to schedule out assignments in the future. Designated assignments could be scheduled to go live on a Monday in October and then close that Friday. If a teacher has a prolonged absence, she could schedule out the assignments and not have to rely on a sub to manage it all. Classrooms can also be used from semester to semester and year to year. It would be terrible for a teacher to just copy and paste a classroom for the next group of students, but it does save some time to have certain things already in place (class syllabus, grading expectations, etc.).
