As we begin a new semester or new 9 weeks it may be a good time to revisit your Google Classroom. Here are a few things I would ask you to consider or revisit as we begin the 2nd half of the year.
1) Check your settings - You have lots of things in your Google Classroom that you can turn on or off for students. If you click on the settings on the three lines of your google classroom on the left you have a group of settings that you can control. You can turn these on or off at anytime within your Google Classroom
2) Differentiate with Google Classroom - You can push out different assignments to different students. Google Classroom is not necessarily a one size fits all approach. You can send out different assignments to individual or groups of students.
3) Try the different Feedback options - One of the great things with Google classroom is the ability to give individual student feedback. You can also comment on student work and see student work in real time.
4) Use topics to organize your classroom - By giving assignments a "topic" then you can easily organize assignments for students.
5) Add course materials - In my mind resources are things that students will use throughout the semester or year. Syllabus, periodic table, welcome video, recorded lectures etc. .
If you have questions about any of these features please let me know!
Thanks for all you do
Clint
