Introduction to Google Classroom: An Easy-to-Use Guide for Taking Your Classroom Digital Kindle Edition

Reading Introduction to Google Classrooms, I was able to grasp how it makes information easily accessible to students and how easy it would be to set up for teachers. I already use Google hangout so I had an idea of how Google Classrooms may work, but it is way more accessible than I originally thought.I was hoping I could use Google Classroom to do tutorials, but unfortunately one can't use the app without an educational email. I do plan on sharing this book with some teacher friends who I think would find it very useful. With Google Classrooms one can link posts, assign homework, have students ask questions, upload a syllabus and submit evaluations. It's the paperless wave of the future, and writer Anne Brock explains it all in such a simple way, even someone that is not technically savvy would still be able to comprehend. The book is sectioned off into parts and each part is detailed with step-by-step instructions. Part 2 explains how to create a class. Once the basics are learned, the classroom can be customized to meet individual needs.What cool with Google Classroomsis that is not just for teachers. Clubs and students groups can use it as well and can be used for fun interacts with the group. Pictures cans video can even be uploaded from meetings and events.

This is a fantastic book for anyone who is using the google classroom program. Technology has come along way in my lifetime. I wish that this had been created when I was in school. (Computers were not even around when I was in grade school). This is an easy step by step guide. To use this google classroom, your school must be enrolled in the Google Apps for Education (GAFE) program. I think every school should have some kind of program like this. It is great for teachers, students and parents. All assignments and class information can be looked at 24/7. Say your child is in grade school and has been out ill. A parent can log in and get classroom assignments and communicate with the teacher. Each teacher can customize the site to what is pertinent to their classroom. This program can also allow students to communicate and post information. Everyone learns in different ways. This is a great resource for our future techinical generation. We, as parents, grandparents and educators must keep up with new technology or we will be left behind!

There has truly never been a more difficult time to be a teacher. Teachers need to be able to focus on teaching, rather than spending the majority of their time filling up paperwork and sending out various reports. Even with all this technology we now have right at their fingertips, many schools still fail to efficiently and appropriately incorporate this into their classrooms. Google classrooms is a great way to interact with and manage your class, it keeps the lines of communication open between students, teachers and parents, basically this book is an excellent guide for learning how to best use this great tool so that you can get great results. It covers literally everything you would need to know, from posting class assignments to managing your students and their grades. Hopefully this guide will make a difficult job a little easier.

I bought this book for my mother, who is a teacher at a local high school. She’s recently been interested in combining more technology in with her lessons, and I grabbed this book for her for inspiration. She fell in love! This book is easy to read, with step-by-step directions complete with screenshots. She could do most everything in this book on her own, without needing my “tech help” at all! She has started using the techniques in this book and has learned so much. She thinks this will be a really fun and unique way to bring her class together.

My school district just started using google drive and google email. I got this book to share with the teachers to incorporate it with their classroom management. Tracking, posting assignments, grades, parent and student communication are just a few of the things you can do. I really think that the screen shots are very useful and great visual to help you understand how to do everything. Every topic is very concise. You could stream line a lot of your paperwork for the year with using google classroom. This is a great time saver.

The perfect quick read to get started immediately with Google Classroom without feeling intimidated. I will use this as a quick reference as I get started.

learned a thing or two.

Great for the beginner. But if you have used Google Classroom prior to reading the book you probably know the content of the book.

I have largely worked out how to do the basics myself, but this slim book has given me some useful tips. Not endorsed by Google.
