"More teaching, less tech-ing"
Welcome to the power of Google Classroom! Google Classroom is a new learning management system (LMS) from Google for any teacher and student who has access to a Google Apps for Education account. Below is an overview of what you will see when you sign up:
Getting Started with Google Classroom
Google Classroom allows teachers and students to utilize all of the features of Google, such as Googledocs and the Google Drive. It is a way for classroom teachers to go 100% paperless in the classroom while allowing students to turn in assignments all in one place. Google Classroom allows teachers and students to effectively and appropriately communicate online and create a dynamic, digital learning environment. Google Classroom can also be used on any device, such as laptops or iPads.
I came across this great Google Classroom tutorial by Kelly Fitzgerald. It is incredibly detailed in all of the behind-the-scenes set-up for your classes as well as what the students will see when they use Google Classroom. You may view the presentation of the tutorial by clicking the image below:
