GAFE Schools – Organize Everything with Google Classroom

Attention Google Apps for Education Schools – you need to prioritize using Google Classroom to get organized and streamline your assignments.

Stay streamlined and get organized with Google Classroom.

Do you wish you had a central place to keep track of all of the Google tools you're using in school? In the above 3-Minute Classroom Problem Solver video, Kim Munoz shows how you can use Google Classroom to organize everything Google; and, with all that Google has to offer, that's a mighty nice set of tools to have.

Google Classroom is, at its simplest, a way to manage your classroom. You can create assignments, send feedback, and keep everything organized in one central place inside your account. You do need to have a Google Apps for Education account (provided by your school) in order to access Google Classroom at this time. So if this is something you have access to at this time, you should definitely consider setting your students up inside a classroom account.

If you'd like to get more in-depth about using this great tool, I recommend the training session from the Teacher Learning Community (SimpleK12), Google Classroom: An Intro to Saving Time, Staying Organized, and Improving Communication. Join experienced technology specialist Jerry Swiatek as he discusses various features of the tool, as well as the requirements, and explains how it goes hand-in-hand with Google Apps for Education, Google Drive, and Google Docs. He also shows how you can use it to reduce paperwork and efficiently manage the document and assignment workflow between teachers and students to help keep everyone organized. Look at Classroom from both the teacher and student sides in order to give you the best idea of what it looks like, and how it can benefit teachers and students alike.
