get the most out of Google Classroom
By now , hopefully you have experienced how amazing Google Classroom is . It really is a blended learning platform that helps to simplify creating , distributing and grading assignments in a paperless way . Here are a few tips that hopefully you will find useful .
Differentiate
Would you like to differentiate assignments for students based on ability , learning styles , reading level , etc ? You can do this with Google Classroom ! You could also give special assignments inside Google Classroom , like independent study , special types of make-up work , extra credit , and genius hour assignments .
It should be much more purposeful and meaningful than just giving different students different assignments . You could offer student choice , such as the choice of topic , product , or process , depending on your assignment and learning goals .
To give an assignment to individuals or groups , use the new drop-down menu to select the students that you wish to receive the assignment (+> Create Assignment > All Students drop-down list ). Here you can select , “ all students ,” or just select the individual or groups of students you want to give the particular assignment to .
‘ About ’ Tab

● Year-Round Documents
● Google Drive Resource Folder
● Reusable Google Drive Files
● Most Important Links
