I've been trying out a few of my library classes with Google Classroom. I've quickly realized, I need to get all my 2nd-5th grade students on it. I'll be working on that in the upcoming weeks. As a specialist, it helps to manage more than one class, plus eliminates all the Google Drive folders/sharing mess I get with 25 classes. It is super easy to navigate and use. Students can simply log in through their Google Apps account and enroll in my class. I can also be a student in classes that teachers set up. That helps me keep up on what they are doing too!
I hope to support teachers as they try it out and starting using it as a fluid tool in their classrooms as well.
- I wish there could be more than one teacher in a class
- I wish Google Presentations and Google Drawings had the submit button
- I wish a google form could be linked in as an assignment that was tracked
- I wish making a comment could be tracked as an assignment
- I wish the text could be formatted (bold, highlighted, etc) in an announcement
Again, I am completely in love with this tool and I can't wait to learn how others are using it in elementary. Plus, I'm eager to try out some new projects. How are you using Google Classroom in your library/class? Please share in the comments below!
