Beyond reporting PLC information, this is my first experience with Google Classroom. I can see myself using Google Classroom in small intervention classes in order to get use to the format and grading procedures, but I can't imagine jumping right into working with 140 students from five classes and having success; thank the gods we are not being forced to. However, with a small class, I like how everything is compartmentalized and easy to track. However, the nature of an intervention class is to have students move around quite a bit, so would it be difficult to add and subtract students, however they might be transferring. I do, however, like that I can hold them accountable online and that I need to keep these kids engaged however I can. So... I see the possibility and have had a little fun with the word however--however you feel about that.
I love the Pixies!
ReplyDeleteStarting with your intervention class sounds like a good idea. Having a set of chrome books will make using Google Classroom a breeze and you'll likely find that turning things in this way will eliminate the need to print everything off.
ReplyDeleteGoogle classroom is really a great and useful tool (in my opinion). Please let me know if I can help you get it up and running :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, April. I'll ask you if I need some help.
DeleteI like your approach, Scott. I plan to try-out Google Classroom with my 8th graders this year. I have two sections, and I think this will be manageable (maybe). Less time spent at the copy machine and shuffling papers is very enticing:)
