Google Classroom- I created a class- NOW WHAT?!?!?!
*Class Resource Page (About Tab)
*Invite Teachers to your Class
*Set Class Permissions
*Archive Class
*Class Calendar
*Class Stream Management
*There’s an App for That
*Share to Classroom Extension
Class Resource Page: About Tab
The ABOUT Tab is a great place to add resources that are specific to that class that students may need to access often.
Examples:
Class Syllabus
Class Website
Class Rules
Help Guides
Invite Teachers to your class
You can invite additional teachers to join your class to help coordinate class activities. Here are a few class permissions to be aware of:
Set Class Permissions
*Students can share a message in the class stream as well as comment on messages, announcements, and assignments from you and other students.
*You can control students’ messages and comments in the class stream by setting permissions for individual students or for the whole class.
*You can also see any comments and messages that a student made and then deleted.
Class Calendar
Classroom creates a calendar for all classes, and work with a due date is automatically added to the class calendar.
You can view the calendar in Classroom or in Google Calendar on your computer and mobile devices.
Class Stream Management
*pin post
Ability to pin posts so they remain at the top of the Stream
*reuse post
Re-use a post from a previous class. This even works if you want to pull a post from a class you’ve archived from the previous year
Closer look @ Announcements:
*Post Announcements that contain attachments, items from Google Drive, Youtube videos, or links
*Select multiple classes to save time
Closer look @ Assignments
*Name your assignment
*Select a due date
(no date if you’d like)
*Decide how students can view files
*Select file to attach
Archive Class
*At the end of the school year or a semester, you may want to archive a class to preserve the class materials, any assignments, and any postings to the class stream.
*You can still access any class files in Google Drive, but the archived classes are moved to a separate area to help you keep your current classes organized.
*An archived class can be viewed by you and the students in the class.
*However, when the class is archived, you can't edit or add anything to the class until you restore it.
Warning: There is no way to undo deleting a class. If you click Delete, you will no longer have access to any class posts or comments. However, you can still access class documents in Drive.
There’s an APP for that
You can upload and share material from apps to Classroom on your mobile device.
Share to Classroom Extension:
Get your class on the same (web)page, instantly.��Google Classroom Teachers: Save time and create a more interactive class with the Share to Classroom extension. The extension allows you to push webpages to any of your Classroom classes, so they open instantly on your students' computers. With this extension, you can get your students on the right page, quickly and reliably every time. You can also post announcements, create assignments, or save webpages to post to Classroom later.��Students: The Share to Classroom extension gets you to webpages your teacher shares, without you having to type out the whole URL. You can also push web pages directly to your teacher.
*When students “pushed” a website to me, a notification appeared in the bottom corner of my screen, which included the student’s name and the website they shared. Their website suggestion DID NOT appear in a new tab on my screen!*
