When looking for your agenda and new work, go to Classroom. When looking for your work you've done in the past, look in Drive. The teacher can see your work in your Google Classroom folder in drive, but no one else. 'Drive' is like your binder you keep in your desk. In the beginning with my students I would relate 'Classroom' to the actual classroom where you get the assignment and listen to directions. Providing timely feedback is so much easier with Classroom compared to handwriting comments on papers and passing back to students. You can assign students a grade from 0-100, provide feedback, and students will see this grade and any comments on the assignment in their Drive. No more, 'You've only done one paragraph and it's due tomorrow?' You can see all their progress at any time. The teacher can click on each assignment and see all work submitted and in progress on an assignment. Google gives you lots of options to make Classroom what you and your students need. For my students I disable these settings as we're not ready for this responsibility yet, but there would absolutely be value in students commenting feedback or asking clarification questions to assignments.

You can also modify your classroom settings so students can create their own posts and/or respond to comments.

It's easy to tell students to 'get out your purple folder' or 'go to your purple Google Classroom'. I change my headers to match the colors I assign to each subject in class. Google is so smart that if you type 'Writing' it will automatically use an image related to the subject for example, a chalkboard with writing.

Students will use this code ton enroll in each class you create.įor some extra personalization, you can change the background headers using your own image or select from many options in the settings. For each Google Class, you'll have a unique class code. ( you'll do this for each subject) and assign the class a name.

Creating different Google classes for each subject is like student have different binders and notebooks for each subject compared to one big binder and notebook. Think of all the assignments you complete in just one week for all your subjects combined. It's a bit more initial setup compared to one class to host all your subjects, but well worth it for the organization. To get started both students and the teacher will need individual Google Accounts.įirst I suggest you create a class for each subject you teach. Teachers can easily post links to websites and store frequently referenced documents like a syllabus.
