Google Classroom Updates

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Google has gotten into the spirit and sent a special gift to all Google Classroom users:  scheduled posts!  You can now schedule a post in Google Classroom.  Follow these steps to stay super-organized in Google Classroom!

1)  Open Classroom and click the + icon
2)  Choose "Create Assignment"
3)  Enter all of your assignment information - don't forget to add any links!
4)  Click the drop-down next to "Assign"
5)  Choose "Schedule" and choose the date/time you would like the assignment to be posted to Google Classroom

A big idea for this new feature:  Use the feature to create assignments ahead of time.  Sometimes we have additional time and are ready to create and post assignments.  This new feature will allow you to create a large amount of assignments and post them at specific times.

Check this site for a visual walk-through of these directions and more ideas for this great feature!

Want to start implementing, but not sure where to start?  Check with your building's instructional coach!  Your instructional coach is there to assist you and provide support as you look to incoropor...

Using the DOODLE BUDDY APP in Math

Some classes are creating subtraction number stories using the Doodle Buddy App! Students use the stamps in Doodle Buddy to create the picture of their story and then use the pen in the app to cross out stamps and write their number sentence. Students can then take a screen shot and put it in their google drive to share with their teacher. Take it one step further! Have students put their Doodle Buddy picture in Explain Everything, Educreations, Tell About This or Write About This so that they can record their explanation of their number story. Now teachers have evidence of the student’s thinking and can plan for the next step in moving that student along in their understanding of mathematical concepts! Works great for addition number stories, too! Model creating number stories with whole class Students work independently or collaboratively to create number stories Students take screen shot to save their work
