Your Virtual Classroom!
Google Classroom is a free blended learning platform developed by Google for educational institutions that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students.
Google Classroom enables teachers to create an online classroom area in which they can manage all the documents that their students need. Here’s what you can do with Google Classroom:
Make assignments: The main thing you, as the teacher, will do with Google Classroom is making homework assignments for your students. When you create an assignment, you can upload the necessary documents for the students to read or work on. Students receive e-mail notification of new assignment. The students “turn in” the assignments when finished, and you can then grade the assignments.
Make announcements: If you have a quick announcement for the entire class, you can quickly type in the announcement, which is e-mailed to all your students in the class.
Store classroom materials: The materials you add to an assignment aren’t the only documents you can store. You can store any other necessary documents for students on Google Drive.
Allow students to interact: Students have the ability to comment on assignments and announcements, as well as e-mail each other through the Classroom interface.
