I have been working to keep you informed of Google Classroom. Here is the link to some updates for Google Classroom. For those who have tried it, are using it, or are considering using it, Google continues to work on new features to this easy to use tool.
Google Classroom So Easy to Use, Just Ask a Second Grader!
Matt Osmun's second graders have been using Google Classroom for a little over a month and they love it! Here is one of Matt's students showing you what the class members are doing in Mr. Osmun's Google Classroom. Mr. Osmun shared that parents who have given feedback are very positive about it. To log in the parents use their student's account. One issue to be aware of arose when parents had private Google accounts. They sometimes thought they were logging in under the student account, but they weren't. Once that issue was resolved things have gone pretty smoothly with students using it both at home and school. It took one full class period for his students to get logged in to the site because initially the students typed out the name of the site, but now that the link has been added as a quick link under students on the district website it has been much quicker and easier for the students to get on. According to Mr. Osmun, the students were comfortable with it in a short amount of time. Once the bandwidth is better, it will be even better. Mr. Osmun shared that using the Chromebooks was the fastest way to use Google. The Google classroom tool has created a lot more excitement for the students to get to their work and complete it.
Just a quick note about the video. I used the movie maker tool to combine the video clips into one clip. I have never used this new version of Movie Maker before and it's a bit different then the old version. I apologize that some of the clips did not seamlessly run together. I will have to take more time to play with this but wanted to get it out to everyone without any additional delay so that you could see how easy it is to use Google Classroom with your students.
