Learn how to answer all student questions quickly and easily with Google Classroom and a smartphone!
Let’s learn how to create and manage micro-discussions through Google Classroom. These discussions are perfectly suited for those few days before the final test, project, or speech date. You can merge a smartphone and Classroom to answer student questions quickly and fruitfully.

Join us for a session on the development of a digital classroom for the 21st Century. Walk away with a ready-to-use digital classroom in order to effectively communicate with students.
Scheduled for Presentation on September 24, 2015 at 8:00 AM at the Southview media center
From the ad: “Join us for a session on the development of a digital classroom for the 21st Century. Walk away with a ready-to-use digital classroom in order to effectively communicate with students. Learn how to post and grade assignments, send announcements, and build interactive discussions! This session is designed for any teacher.”
In this session, teachers will first learn what Google Classroom is. Then,the presenter will help them create their own class and perform the basic functions of making announcements, posting assignments, grading assignments, posting a variety of content, communicating, and customizing the design. Teachers will leave with a classroom they can use immediately and ideas for extending its use.

SDL Resource Introduction to Google Classroom
Unlike previous online classrooms, Google Classroom offers simple, streamlined interaction that is easy to master and convenient for students and parents.
Classroom is Google’s answer to online classroom systems like Moodle, Blackboard, TeacherWeb, or My Big Campus. Unlike those resources, Classroom offers simple, streamlined interaction that is easy to master and convenient for students and parents. The best part? It’s a Google product, so it merges seamlessly with Google Drive and the rest of their products.
You can use Classroom to post announcements with or without attachments or links. Students are notified of these updates through email. You can use Classroom to post assignments, and it will automatically create copies for each student, even filing those documents in the appropriate folder in Drive. You can use Classroom to communicate through email quickly. Those are the three main uses, but more are available, and Google keeps updating the service with teacher-requested changes!
