9 Quick Tips for Google Classroom
In no particular order, here are my 9 tips and tricks that you can use to be more efficient when using Google Classroom.
1. Reuse assignments across multiple classes.
After you schedule an assignment for one
class, go to the other class you want to schedule it for and click the + sign
and hit the reuse button. Select the class you posted the other assignment in
and choose the assignment you want to post.
2. Use Google Slides to Link Assignments
Make one master Google Slides file for
the week to share with students. Then within the Google Slides file, link to
each day’s assignment(s). That way students only need to find one assignment in
Classroom.
3. Use Topics to Stay Organized
When students click on the Class Work Tab they
can see each file organized by Topic if you take the time to organize your
units into Topics.
4. Use The Comment Bank to Speed Up Feedback
Copy and paste comments from the Comment
Bank to speed up your process of giving students feedback.
5. Use the Slip-in-Slide Extension for Changes
If you change your document in google you
have to reattach
it
to Classroom or the
kids won’t get the new copy. OR, save yourself a ton of effort and use the
browser extension to add a slide to all of the student copies!
6. Turn Off the Google Meets Icon in Classroom
Otherwise students can access the meet
when you’re not there to present.
7. Turn Off Assignments Posting to the Stream
That way the Stream is used for
announcements and is more likely students will actually
see
your important information.
8. Use Digital Stickers to Give Feedback
After students have turned in an assignment, add a private comment to give them feedback. Use Bitmojis or other digital stickers
to add some color and positive reinforcement!
9. Use the Question Feature as an Exit Ticket
See what your students are learning with
a quick exit ticket. Use the Question feature to have the answers all in one
place.
