Google Classroom is an excellent platform to use with students of all ages. It can make organizing assignments easier and communicating with students more effective! If you are already familiar with Google Classroom, is there anything positive you would like to share about it? How does it work for you?

Sending feedback to students on Google Classroom

Feedback is an ESSENTIAL piece in the learning process! As teachers, sometimes this gets put on the back burner once grades are given!

Ways to give feedback in Google Classroom

Private comments to an individual student
Class comments can be made on the original assignment (If your class has a great overall average on an assessment, let them know!)

Feedback doesn’t have to be hard! Leave simple, quick feedback to students such as “I think this was a wonderful paragraph to start with Jason!” or “I’m confused by your wording here Sally, look at this again.”

Differentiation using Google Classroom

As teachers, we all know no two students are the same. There are so many different ways to learn for students!
Be FLEXIBLE and give your students options! Student Choice and Voice is SUPER IMPORTANT!
This is a great time for co-teaching!

What are some ways you have given your students “choice and voice” in their learning? Did something work really well for you that you will continue to use?
