Google Classroom Comes to Wickliffe High School
Google Classroom and Google Apps for Education provide districts with cloud-based tools that are easy to implement and manage, that are affordable and reliable, and that enable student collaboration, communication and content creation from anywhere, on any device, at any time. Classroom weaves together Google Docs, Drive and Gmail to help teachers create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently, and communicate with their classes with ease. Classroom also enables students to organize, complete and turn in work, and communicate directly with their teachers and peers.
It also improves communication with students. There’s a communication stream in Classroom where teachers can make announcements or kick off class discussions. Once a student has turned in an assignment, teachers can give direct real-time feedback. Finally, it helps teachers and students to stay organized. When you create a class in Classroom, a folder in Google Drive is automatically created for that class. Anytime a student works on an assignment and turns it in, the assignment is automatically filed in the correct class folder and the corresponding assignment folder. Teachers can then review student work easily, and pass it back to the student if needed. Classroom also helps students keep track of their work—on their assignments page they can see the due date for everything.
