Google Classroom is an application combining many online google tools to create a digital classroom for you and your students. You can post, grade, and comment on students' work all directly through the app itself. You can create homework assignments, quizzes, questions, and other material that will immediately pop up in your students' feed after you post. It is great for teaching online when you must and makes learning transitions much easier. I plan to use this in my everyday classroom so that students become familiar with the network and can use it to look at homework in the evenings, receive grades, and, if we must transition to online school, use it to view lessons and assignments.
Google Classroom allows you to create an environment of respect and rapport for you and your students (Danielson's 2a) and manage classroom procedures in a constructive and influential way (Danielson's 2c). It incorporates the ISTE standards by making you a creative designer for your classroom and a facilitator of online learning so that your students can be as successful as ever! |
