Hello EduTech4Teachers,
Google Classroom is a great resource for teachers and students. This suite of resources/tools allows a free option for teachers to create, instruct, assess, provide discussion and feedback, and store/share information and files. I like that teachers can create multiple classes that can be managed from one homepage. Teachers can add students and even other instructors easily to the classes. I like that Google Classroom as well can be used on multiple connected devices. Teachers can easily create assignments, polls, and discussion boards. There are functions to create individual and group messages, announcements, and calendar functions. Google Classroom allows for allows creativity, organization, collaboration, innovation, critical thinking, communication, administration, and problem solving. Google Classroom also is great for incorporation of SAMR model and Bloom’s Taxonomy model practices. Teachers can also pair Google Classroom with the many other Google Suite tools and resources for a one-stop shop of tools and resources for teachers and students.
