Reuse a Post: This will be very handy if students need to redo an assignment. This would also be helpful when I have too much to do and forget to attach a copy for each student to complete.

Using posts in multiple classes: This will be especially useful to me because I team teach and there have been times that I have not assigned the same thing to both sections accidently. This will ensure that both sections receive the same assignments.

Assigning posts to specific students: This is a tool that will make all educators' lives easier because it is so useful when differentiating. With a growing population where students are at all different levels or have many different needs, this will allow educators to group students and assign work that is challenging but not frustrating, while all focusing on the same concepts and skills.

Saving post as a draft and assigning a draft post:
When creating an assignment you do not have to assign or schedule right away. You are able to save the assignment as a draft and it will show up as a saved post. I meant may need to assess where I am and pacing or check other information prior to feeling comfortable assigning. When you are finally ready to assign the post or schedule it you will click on the saved post and actually click on the blue icon and finally click assign.
Using Post in multiple classes:
When using this feature the classes that I click on all of those students will receive the assignment. I'm unable to click on specific students when using more than one classroom. I'm interested in being able to post multiple classrooms because I teach math to more than one homeroom class and I'd like to get into using Google classroom in this manner.
Creating topics and organizing by topic:
Creating topics allows me to organize my posts. I will be able to easily find post and I have to go through the entire stream. I like how you can click add topic more than once for a post because many times and assignment might be able to be categorized in more than one topic. If I've already created assignment but failed to include a topic I can go to that assignment and click on the three dots and edit. Clicking on a topic will allow me to see all post that deal with that topic.

Assign Posts to Specific Student:
Providing opportunities for differentiated instruction that lends itself to different learning styles requires identification/assigning of different tasks for students based on their abilities. I would post an essential as an introduction to a lesson or unit

Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream
It is equally important for planning purposes to schedule and prioritize postings. I would schedule/post essential questions to the top of the stream based on when the lesson /unit is designated to commence.

Posting Question:
After students successfully complete a series of critical thinking tasks associated with the Essential Question, I would post a  "Reflection Question" designed to elicit extended student responses at higher order thinking levels.

# data[].attributes.body
Piggybacking off everyone who watched "Assign Posts to Specific Students". I agree, assigned post to specific students are a great tool for student engagement and participation.  Assigning different task for students base on their ability helps their growth and their confidence in learning. I would like to use assign post as a lesson starter. For example, posting an essential question, a big idea for a unit, or even exit ticket for math/ela instruction.
In "Archive an Old Class" I would use this as a tool to reflect on my practices in the years prior and how I could improve on what worked and revamp or remove what did not.
In "Posting a Question" I would use this tool as a resource for student engagement, group discussions, and home communication.

# data[].attributes.body
I watched Posting a Question, Assign Posts to Specific Students, and Reuse an Old Post.
Posting a question is great because it can be used as a quick informal assessment after a lesson on Zearn or during a lesson in ELA. This could even be used as a way to start a class.
Assign posts to specific students- in our room we use centers and this is a great way to differentiate our instruction to assign different materials based on current student performance levels.
Reuse an old post- this can be used as a way to show growth students have made over the course of time. It can be an archived way to track how much progress a student has made.

# data[].attributes.body
Great Tips! Like many of my colleagues I feel that assigning posts can help with differentiation of lessons. I like the archiving classes to keep things clean and organized. Reusing posts is a great way of making changes and/or deleting things that I made mistakes with. Creating and sorting topics are also another way of keeping organized

# data[].attributes.body
I am excited to use "Assign Posts to Different Students." Our class is all about differentiating and collaboration, so doing this will encourage all of our students to participate in and complete tasks.
"Moving an Assignment to the Top" will help when we have multiple students who either did not complete or did not submit an assignment, and have difficulty locating it despite it being organized. It could also help when we have something that is due now.
"Posting a Question" can come in handy for our class when we don't feel that a question we have is blog-worthy. This can be used as a quick check for understanding, to let students share opinions, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Assigning to different students. Best uses are differentiation especially in my classes with SPED students.
Archive an Old Class, this will help keep my home page fresh and clean! I will only have my current classes. Love the organization!
Creating Topics, another organizational tool to
tie concepts together.

# data[].attributes.body
i enjoyed the video on assigning to different students.  It can help with differnetiating assignements for different students based on ability or interest.  Moving a post to the top can assist with categorizinig posts or putting the most important one up top. Saving a draft helps when you are not sure if you are quite done with an assignment or need to come back to it later to complete.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the idea in the video "Assign Posts to Different Students" because it allows you to customize assignments to groups or individual students. This supports the ideas of differentiated instruction or student engagement if students are to choose their topic, for example.
In "Archive an Old Class," I would use this to keep my dashboard clean, but reuse ideas from previous years.  It would allow me to see what worked/what didn't and even use past student work as exemplars to provide to the current class.
"Posting a Question" is a great way to have a digital conversation with students (if they are allowed to comment on each other's writing). If students have access to internet outside of the school day, this could be a tool used for homework.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating Topics and Organizing by Topics will help students to find materials to review. Organizing by topic is essentially an excellent filing behavior that increases efficiency and allows students to make meaningful mind-map type connections between various pieces of course content.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use "Assigning Posts to Specific Students" to differentiate instruction. I can simplify and enrich content based on student learning needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use "Posting a Question" as a way to engage students as they enter the room. I will also use it to stimulate home-school connections. Students can use the question to initiate conversations at home and with people outside of class.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use "Assigning Post to Specific Students" to send assignments to each grade level of students in my class (5th and 6th grade). I like the visual aspect of "Creating Topics" so the students can see each topic listed on the topic window on the left hand side. "Reuse a Post" seems handy in case I want to add a copy for each student rather than starting all over again.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that archiving classes is a great tool from year to year. I always go back to previous year to check my organization. I also like to use the same directions and verbiage to have continuity across the years.
I enjoy the Post to Multiple Classes because in the past I have forgotten some specific directive that I  want each class to know. Now with this tool we can have continuity across multiple classes.

I have caught myself making the simple mistake and not giving each student a copy of the assignment. Reuse a post is great for that specific aspect. I can now reuse a post and alter it to fix my error(s). It makes work a lot easier

# data[].attributes.body
Reusing a post
I would use this option often...mostly because it seems like I am always forgetting to click on "Make a copy for each student"  I had no idea that the reusing a post was an option and I'm looking forward to the time it will save.
Assign Posts to Specific students
This is another option that I was unaware of and it will come in handy when I'm doing collaborative work with my students.  I'm looking forward to using this option soon!
Scheduling a post:
I am already using this. I like this feature because it

# data[].attributes.body
I would use “Posting a Question” on Google Classroom as “bell-work” for the students when they enter class. There is always a transition time as students arrive to the room, and this would allow for students to use the time efficiently while also getting more familiar with the topic that we will be studying in class that day. I would do short answer questions mostly to allow them to think about the topic like a brainstorm.

I really like the feature of “Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream” because it allows me to remind students of previous work, or assignments that could be overdue. I appreciate that I can bring back previous work to students to help them transfer their background knowledge to a new lesson!

“Creating Topics” is an excellent way to help me and the students stay organized. Without technology, students fill their backpacks with papers and supplies, and things easily get lost. Their books, worksheets, and notes are all mixed up. With this feature in Google, the students and I can both stay organized, and we can easily reference previous work which can be helpful. Especially at the end of a unit with a project, they may want to refer back to previous work and references.

# data[].attributes.body
Reusing a post
I could use this to post to more than one section of a class, even if I had slightly different instructions.
Assign Posts to Specific Students
I would definitely use this to differentiate and assign group work or different readings/assignments to different students.
Saving a Draft Post
I would use this to plan ahead and make drafts, and then go back to make final edits or to assign when I get to that point, but I could get instructions written

# data[].attributes.body
1. For re using a post I would use this if I had a generic document that can be used across content areas and assign it to another class.
2. For saving a draft I might want to run a  concept or assignment by one of my co-teachers before I assign it to students.
3. For assigning post to specific students I might have students who need an alternative assignment to make up work or who need a modification to the work.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to post questions allows for a quick and easy way to handle Do Nows and Exit Tickets.  Less papwer for us to manage and students enjoy being able to even get a few minutes of Chromebook time.
Top of the stream allows teachers to go back to an assignment with ease if students need to review a skill or content.
Multiclass posting allows for effeciency for teachers when classes are in the same place.  I have 4 classes of 7th graders and sometimes they are all in the same place.  THis will save me time

# data[].attributes.body
Using the posting to a specific student will help with differentiation. I can give the students something specific to thier needs or provide materials based on thier learning style and interest.

Post to Multiple Classes: This feature saves time and ensures that the same lesson or assignment will reach all sections of a course that I teach. Finally, saving a draft of a post - this is helpful so I can beginning planning ahead and not post for students until I am ready to.

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving Classes
I have used this feature to 'de-clutter my streaming feed.  I like the idea that they are still stored somewhere, so if I need to reference material at some point I can recover them.

I think making topics would be helpful to organize the content in a class stream.  Often there is a lot of information that is hard to locate if many people are sharing the stream.  Breaking the posts up by topic makes sense to find information more quickly.

I like being able to post questions or information to specific students instead of the whole group. Some students like to have private conversations about their work instead of having them in front of their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely LOVE the "Move to Top" feature.  So many times students forget to scroll and I know many will ask where that assignment is that they need to finish or even say they can't find it.  When it's time to revise or edit, I just move the assignment to the top and all of that commenting is gone.  :)

I also often assign different levels of grammar or reading practice to different students using the posting to certain students feature.  The students don't have to know that they have different assignments and it helps some of the students "save face" while still wanting to improve skills.

Lastly, I use the schedule or draft features often. I am lucky to have many motivated students. I need to keep a draft or schedule certain assignments to be released the next day. Without these features, many of my students would do the work too early.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the video about making topics. THis was interesting becuase I could then organize the different materials based on what topic they are about for that class such as different chapters or units of study.

I also liked learning about how to put a post in more than one class. This is very helpful for my reading groups because often times I take more than one class that is working on the same topic and I can easily share the materials between the class.

Using the posting to a specific student will help with differentiation. I can give the students something specific to thier needs or provide materials based on thier learning style and interest.

# data[].attributes.body
For Assigning a post to certain students, I could use this to facilitate group projects where different groups may be working with different subject matter.

I could use the saving a post as a draft and assigning later function in order to plan assignments ahead, and have them automatically post.

The post a question function I have used as a do now activity where students answer a quesition and their answers spur discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
For Posting a question,  I would have students respond to ascertain the level of understanding and determine if I can move forward or reteach.

I would archive non current classes and retrieve, when needed.

Lastly, I would utilize assign a post to specific students as a means of differentiation.

Post A Question
I will use this as a method to assess students learning, also to initiate a conversation/ discussion among the students.
I like the idea of Archiving and Restoring because this will give me much needs space and room to do other think and put up more lessons.  and having the ability to retrieve them when i need to teach the same lesson.
I will use the post on top because it will be easier for the student to find the information or assignment or discussion faster. Many time i have posted for the students and they would tell me they did not see it.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive and Restore: My Classroom site now has multiple years and subjects for standalone and co-taught classes. By archiving older classes, especially for those subjects I don't teach this year, I can de-clutter the space. Should I resume teaching that course next year, I can retrieve the archived class.

Save and Assign Draft Posts: When working with co-teachers, I can post a draft for a final review by my peers before determining a date to assign it.

Post to Multiple Classes: This feature saves time and ensures that the same lesson or assignment will reach all sections of a course that I teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting a Question is a good way to get input from every student.  Each student would have to contribute to the discussion and insure participation.
I like assigning topics to organize  assignments. It will make it easier to find assignments in their categories.
Archiving a class is great. All the files for that class are located in one place and easy to find from one year to the next. Many documents  would be utilized after updating them for the current school year.

# data[].attributes.body
I would archive my classes from previous years. This will clean up my classroom and make it easier to navigate.

I would assign work for multiple classes at a time.  This will save me time as I am planning for multiple sections  of ELA.

Finally, I would assign work to specific students.  This will help me differentiate my instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
I would archive lessons when completed to organize board space and to modify and re-use at a later date.

I would save posts as drafts to organize future lessons and modify as needed ongoing prior to use,

Lastly, I would assign posts to specific students to differentiate instruction to my struggling learners and my ELL students. This would allow me to modify and extend lessons as needed as well as give closer attention to those in need.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive Topics:  I would archive topics so that I don't have to many classes on my board at once.  I find it easier to organize my classes this way.  I would archive the topics because I would want to be able to recycle these classes for future use.  I would most likely have to update some content, but the format would be there for me to re-use.

Post Questions: I would love this feature to act as a silent teacher. Students would have to do some type of inquiry to be able to answer a question. This could also be used to assess prior knowledge.  i could also use this as a sort of carousel where students would share their ideas and others ideas may be sparked as a result of looking at other students posts.

Moving a post to the top of the stream: I would use this feature to make sure the most up to date assignments or questions were visible first when a student signs on to Google Classroom. I may also want students to revisit assignments for a review.

# data[].attributes.body
I would archive topics or courses completed

I would select certain students for assignments when differentiated for extra work and/or enrichment

I would post questions when reviewing or giving independent work

# data[].attributes.body
I would archive lessons that are finished and archive classes when I change grade levels.
I would assign topics to certain students when I am working on enrichment activities for small groups.
I would post questions when working on topics of interest with enrichment small groups for the students to research and report back

# data[].attributes.body
Assign Posts to Specific Students
I would use this to assign each student according to their math and reading level.

Post Questions
I would use this to review what was previous taught to check for understanding.

Creating Topics and Organizing Topics
This is a great tool to use, because many topics are introduce in the first grade,  I would use this to organize different topics.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy the save draft feature in that I can have the assignment hit moments before discussing with the students then I don't need to worry about students getting ahead on their classwork and being bored during class.

Assign posts to specific students works really well if I am modifying assignments for students with special needs or providing them with additional support to complete the assignment.

Using posts from previous classes helps me to not reinvent the wheel every year or every class. I can repost if the assignment was proven to be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign posts to specific students
I would use this as part of my centers.  It would enable me to differentiate based on individual skills needed. It would also be a great way to group students by skill levels.
Saving Posts as a Draft
My lesson plans often need to be tweaked, and I have to change the days that assignments are given if students are working faster or slower than I anticipated.  Saving the posts as a draft enables me to post them when I am ready.
Using Posts in Multiple Classes
I have more than one 7th grade class, and I often assign the same assignments.  This feature allows me to post the same assignment to all of my classes, making it much easier.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very organized to being able to add a title to my lesson and on the side box is a great feature.

I like being able to assign lessons to specific students.  When a student asks for extra credit or to make up work this will be handy.

Sometimes I like to work ahead or I am not able to finish what I am working on at the time so being able to save my assignment as a draft temporarily is key.

Posting Question
I would love to have questions for students to read and think about for a class discussion

Assign Posts to Specific Students
This is great because I can assign different assignments according to each student's ability.

Archive an Old Class: I use this feature from one year to the next to clean up my dashboard because it not only helps to organize but I believe it also prevents past students from continuing to comment.
Assigning Posts to Specific Students: This is perfect for differentiation.  Last year I had three different classes for my groups but this year all I need to do is create three posts and everything is in the same folder on my drive.
Posting a Question: This is perfect for either the bridge or closure of my lesson.  Adding videos opens up the possibilities even more.  Students are engaged and since they can see their classmate responses they have an option for a class discussion-online!

Using posts in multiple classes:  I work in grades k-6 so there are times I create assignments or templates that I can use with students in multiple classes.
Assigning post to a specific student:  This will be helpful wen differentiating my centers.

Creating Topics and Organizing by topics: I would use this feature to help organize information for students and then it could be a means to review subtopics.
Moving posts to top of Stream: This again is away to help with organization and ease. With younger students it is nice to have what you want on top.
Assign posts to specific students: I would do this as a means to group and differentiate instruction.
Archive old classes and recover archived classes: I would do this as a means of organization for myself. Knowing that I can pull it out of archive when needed ad keep the dashboard visually friendly for me.

Archiving a Class: I was able to go in and remove the classes from last year and "de-clutter" my classroom page.
Reusing a Post: There were times when I wanted students to answer the same question but for different content and it made it a time saver!
Assign Posts to Specific Students: this feature is great because you can then differentiate assignments!

# data[].attributes.body
Post A Question: This allows for the teacher to provide immediate feedback. This helps with checking for understanding and then a quick reteaching lesson could be done if the student needs more help with the topic or assignment.

Move Posts: This is a very easy way to organize what you want to be a priority for students. Obviously moving a post to the top would make it easy for students to access the assignment quickly. Or, if a teacher wanted to add an additional prerequisite lesson/assignment, this would be eas to do using this feature.

Assign Posts to Specific Students: I like this feature because it allows for differentiation. Students can work on what they need at their own pace. You can also provide feedback to them and it is specific to their needs. We always have varying levels of needs in all subjects so this is beneficial to the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Saving posts as draft and assigning a draft later:  I would use this to create assignments to for my class.  By saving it, I can make sure it is not assigned until I have taught all the material and standards for that task.

Archiving an old class: This a great because I can go back and select assignments previously used as well as see what worked well and what did not.

Assign posts to specific students: This allows for group differentiation on a central topic. The groups can work at their pace and materials provided will be geared toward their levels and needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving a Class is a great tool because I teach all curriculum/K-12. Depending upon student assignment what I teach varies during the year and year to year. Being able to retrieve and amend coursework is very helpful.
Assigning posts to specific students allows me to work with students at their own pace in the curriculum and differentiate to meet their needs.
Posting a  common question(ex-current event) can be used to connect my students across grades and allow them to comment on each other's ideas.

Assign posts to specific students - I would use this when working in groups.  If I only want one person from each group to submit their work I would only assign the assignment to the group leaders.

Saving post as draft - I would use this to plan ahead.  Many times I will have most an assignment ready early and want to create a draft of the post to work on until I had all parts of the assignment ready.  I would then schedule it for a specific day and time to post.

Archive old classes- I would use this to clear up my classes on the classroom homepage.  I could then still go back and look at what I did in specific classes the year before.

Assign posts to specific students – I would use to differentiate because students are at different levels.  Also, this would be great to use in a CT class.
Saving post as a draft and assigning a draft post – I would use this to monitor and adjust.  If students are not advancing as quickly or need guidance along the way, etc.  Making changes to the document is easy and it is right there to post when ready.
Using posts in multiple classes – Saves time and not repeating the same tasks multiple times.

Saving an assignment as a draft: This would allow me to plan things in advance and assign them when I am ready.

Assigning a post to specific students: This would allow for increased differentiation by posing different questions to different students.

I would Assign Posts for Specific Students as they were practicing a skill. I would Reuse a Post, when other students were reviewing the same skill as frequently happens in special education situations (or if I was teaching the same grade level for a second year - which has never happened in the 13 years I have worked in the district). I did not find Using Posts in Multiple Classes useful. I think this would be a more beneficial use for secondary teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use assign to specific students to differentiate assignments in google classroom.  Archiving classes helps to keep just your current classes on your home page, but they can be restored.  Reusing a post can allow you to use assignments from previous classes or to edit a current post if you forgot to make a copy for each student.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting a question:  this would be great for starting a new topic.  It would allow me to see what information students have and what is lacking.
Assigning posts to specific students:  I would use this for reading groups / interest groups to post assignments, questions, videos, etc. for that specific group to watch and / or complete.
Archive old class: I like that I would not have to reinvent the wheel. I could use what worked from previous classes, tweek to change, and be able to have examples to show students .

Archive an old class: I would archive an old class because I have so many classes on my screen and don’t need to interact with them anymore.  I wish there was a way for me to archive classes in which I am a student.  I understand that we wouldn’t want our own students to have that option, but as a teacher that gets added to classes that are usually only relevant for a year, I’d like to archive the info so it leaves my home screen but I could restore it if something came up.

Assign Posts to specific students: I am often added as a co-teacher and instead of creating a new/different class for just my ESOL students, being able to just select my specific students for certain assignments would be beneficial.  This would allow me to still interact with the entire class and assign whole group assignments as well.  There are also times I need to differentiate among my ESOL students and this feature will be used for that.

Organizing by Topic: I really like this feature to stay organized and find previous posts.  It will be easier than scrolling through all of the posts to find something.

When to reuse a post: I always seem to forget to click “make a copy” the first time!!

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving classes:  I have some "practice classes" from google training and some other classes that are cluttering up my screen.  My OCD brain is so happy that I can now streamline my page so that only my current classrooms show up!

Posting a question: Since I am using my classroom to collaborate with colleagues, posting a question will be an easy way to get opinions on my ideas or offer resources I have found to use with my students.

Creating/Sorting Topics: This will be very helpful as the year progresses and our classroom stream gets bogged down with different assignments and activities. I can easily find what I am looking for and/or highlight what I need.

Assigning posts to specific students: This would be a great way to differentiate the same material to groups of students depending on their reading levels; very helpful for guided reading group assignments.

Posting a question:  Students can see each other's posts, but I don't think I would let them comment on each other's posts without explicit rules/expectations beforehand.  I tried this last year and some students made silly comments.

Creating/sorting topics: Very helpful in a co teaching classroom so we can categorize our subjects. This will also allow for us to better grade completed assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
Reuse a Post - My school is on semester scheduling, so I would reuse posts to make my second semester planning more efficient and to repeat activities/questions that were successful during the first semester.

Assign a Post to Specific Students - as I see many others have posted here, and as a Special Ed teacher, I would use this feature to differentiate instruction according to students' learning styles and interests.  This will ideally keep them more engaged in the class.  It's a great way to assist them in writing and researching answers to follow-up questions that may not get answered in class, or to have the class research vocabulary terms, historical events, or other information that will prepare them to read specific materials in English class.  For example, if we were going to read a short story from a particular era in history, each student could be assigned a question, a word, an event, etc. to learn about and present to the class as part of a group pre-reading activity.

Creating/Organizing by Topic - I would use this feature to assist students in reviewing or studying a particular topic discussed in class. For example, if we discussed the use of rhetorical devices in persuasive writing, I could organize all of the posts that pertained to that topic, or, while reading a novel, I might organize all of the posts that pertained to discussions about a particular character from the novel. This feature is a great way to efficiently set up a review for students.

Archiving classes: this feature allows your classroom page and you students pages to be less cluttered with information that may no longer be relevant.
Assigning posts to specific students allows for differentiation of the lesson by allowing certain students to receive specific tools others may not need.

Reassigning posts:  There have been times, when using google classroom I have forgotten assign a copy of a document to each student.  The reassigning post feature makes it very easy to correct this mistake.

Assigning posts to specific students:  This allows me to differentiate assignments and materials for different groups of students.

Creating Topics: This will help keep assignments organized and will also help if/when I go back into my classroom in the following years to re-use particular assignments.

Assign posts to specific students: This will allow me to differentiate my assignments.  This way I can assign students based on groups already established.  Everybody will not have the same work to complete.
Posting a question:  This will allow me to ask students questions based on learning or experiences they have had in the classroom.  It gives all students a chance to share which time does not always allow in the classroom.
Creating Topics:  I like that you can organize posts and assignments with the classroom to keep everything organized. It will make searching for a specific assignment easier especially if there are many posts and assignment in the classroom.

1. Assign Posts will allow me to help students where they are specifically at without the whole class being involved.
2. Posting a question will be useful with small group work as it will allow me to converse with individual students without disturbing everyone else.

2. Posting a Question: There are always responses to literature that I am looking for, or even just to make students are comprehending what we are reading, so questioning is important for what we do.
3. Creating Topics: I thought this was interesting because I can easily set-up student work through having the chapters of the books we read serve as the topics. Then it would be easier to organize & locate specific assignments.

Assign post to specific students: I would use this for group projects, wherein students can work on assignments based on specific criteria.
Saving posts as a draft and assigning a draft post would allow flexibility to make changes and update information/feedback/assignments based on student need and readiness.
Moving post to top of stream would give me the flexibility to work "offline" as my schedule allows, or to prioritize assignments or discussions based on class response, questions, etc.

Assigning Posts to Different Students - this is great for group work and differentiation. - students have a specific assignment to work on for their needs.
Posting a Question - this is great to start the dialogue on a topic where the students feel they can express their knowledge of a topic. It involves them in the topic.
Creating Topics - This is an awesome organizational tool, especially for students who would like to review. It is also great for students who have been absent.

Assigning Posts to Specific Students

As an ENL teacher, this topic would be particularly useful when co-teaching in the English class so that I could differentiate my ENL students assignments to make them more appropriate for my entering/emerging students versus my higher level students.

Using Posts in Multiple Classes

In middle school, many of our classes focus on the same material but at different times. This tip would make preparation for the classes much more manageable by only having to post the assignment once instead of three separate times.

Creating Topics

Creating topics would allow us to more easily navigate throughout the classroom as both teachers and students. For example, if we are ending a topic, we can remind students all of the assignments with that topic need to be done to get full credit. It also makes it easier to navigate to find missing assignments for students have been absent.

This is an awesome way to differentiate for my ASD students. There are many different levels in my class, and everyone is working at their level without having to worry about what someone else is doing.
Posting a Question:
I would definitely use this feature for Bell work, during small group work , or for exit/entrance tickets.  This can be done quickly and checked by the teacher.
Creating Topics and Organizing by topic
I think this is a great way to organize things in the classroom. You can quickly find the items you need!

# data[].attributes.body
Assigning posts to specific students: I would definitely use this to differentiate work for my special education students depending on their ability levels. Plus, they wouldn't be able to see each other's posts and compare who has what (which can be a problem when giving paper assignments).

Posting a Question: This would be great for bell work, "do now", exit tickets, introduction to a minilesson, small group work. This way students can read the question electronically and respond quickly! Most of my students can type quicker and better than they can write!

Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic: This is great for organization help. Plus, you don't have to go through the whole stream to find items which can be extremely time-consuming after a few months (or more) of postings!

Assigning Posts to Specific Students
This is a great way for me to differentiate the work my students do in my consultant teacher settings. I could create assignments and just select my students in that classroom that should complete the modified assignment.
Posting a Question
I think that this is a great way to do a quick assessment of student knowledge. It also can help hold students accountable when watching things like videos or reading articles.
Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic
This is just a great way to organize things in the classroom!

Assigning posts to specific students
This is great for differentiated instruction!  I like how you can select certain students based on specific assignments.
Creating Topics and Organizing by topic
This is going to help me become more organized!!!!  What a great feature to help save time!
Reusing posts
Another great option to use when I want to re-assign an assignment and I don't have to go searching for it.

Assigning Posts to Specific Students
I love this because it helps with differentiation. It's also great with centers, different assignments can be assigned to different groups to help them build skills.
Reusing Posts
I cna add or delete parts of posts. Parts of assignments could be differentiated. Students may need to "redo" an assignment & this makes it readily available.
Creating Topics & Organizing by Topic
I love this. I have started creating a few classrooms. Organizing (before there are too many classrooms) will help find topics for teaching and learning when building classrooms in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream
I would use this feature if there was a lot of extraneous questions or comments in the stream added by students and I wanted to refocus the group to the most important task.
Reuse a Post
This is good for when I'm teaching multiple course sections and they are not on the same pace.  I would also use this feature if I wanted to create a classroom next year using the assignments that I create this year.
Creating Topics
I will set up topics for each ELA Module so that the kids can find their current worksheets quickly.

Using Posts in Multiple Classes
I would use this to post for my multiple classes of the same grade level. This will make things so much easier on my part so I am not constantly doubling up on my posts.
Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream
I would use this for organizational purposes for both myself and my students. This will help us all see things easier.
Posting a Question
I liked the option of multiple choice questions when posting a question. This is helpful for NYS test prep,

# data[].attributes.body
Archive an old post:   This is useful for keeping your Classroom page uncluttered and ready for a new school year ass well as tweaking your posts to reach different learning styles of your learners.
Assign post to specific students:  This is great because Google Classroom can help me with providing make up or extra credit work.
Using post in multiple classes: I could easily assign assignments and make announcements with just a few keystrokes

# data[].attributes.body
Reuse a post:  I will use this when I have posted an assignment and students need to redo it or I want to use it as a review.  I can easily go back and add to the assignment or delete parts of it to meet the needs at that current time.
Post to individual students:  I will use this feature to differentiate assignments or work to the students.  Many of the students are at different ability levels for reading so this will be a nice way to assign them work to meet their needs.  Each student can get work at their level.

Using posts in multiple classes:  We are departmentalizing this year so it will easier to choose which class or classes I want to use the assignment in.

Assigning Posts to Specific Students
I would use this as an itinerant teacher because my caseload has students at various grade levels k-12. This would be beneficial in targeting specific needs for individual students.
Posting a Question
I would use this to post a general question that many of my students could answer regardless of age or grade level. I would use this to target areas such as self advocacy or technology use regarding their hearing loss.
Saving Posts as a Draft
I would use this when it is an assignment that can be used across our department. It wculd be helpful to have collaboration of other teachers and then produce a final product that we all can utilize.

# data[].attributes.body
Post to Individual Students I will use as a way to differentiate.  Some of my students are non-readers.  I can post  an assignment to the readers at their level and a separate assignment for the others.
Reuse A Post I will use this when I've posted an assignment with the incorrect rights for students.  I can go back and assign the correct rights and then delete the old one to keep assignments organized.
Save Post As Draft.  As I'm working on an assignment, I can put it on hold until I have all the needed materials/information to complete the assignment.  I can then assign to students.

# data[].attributes.body
Assigning posts to specific student

I will use this with my higher readers in my book clubs.  It will be a great tool to individualize instruction and give the students more time for self guided learning.
Moving posts to the top of the stream
This will be a great tool to keep current assignments easy to find for students.
Posting questions
This is a great tool to use to post writing prompts for journals. I love how you can add videos to it so that it sparks thoughts and gives my writers ideas to prompt their writing

# data[].attributes.body
The first I choose was using posts in multiple classes since I have so many classes this allows me to choose all or one which makes it easy.  The second was posing a question this is a tool I would use often allows for me to post a general question to all students or even different ones for each class.  It would be a quick check for me to better montior student learning.   The last was reuse a post I would definately forget to make a copy for each student or some other thing on the post this allows me to go back and fix.

Archive an Old Class- This will help me stay organized .
Posting a Question: I would use this for the beginning of  new topic to engage students and check for background knowledge.
Assign to Specific Students: This is useful when I need to differentiate my assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
I can better stay organized by archiving old classrooms that I have created and others.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use Assign Post for Specific Students to differentiate instruction/assessments. This would especially be helpful during GRAIR and Skills.

I would use Posting a Question to engage students and access background information on specific topics. I could also use this for differentiation.

I would use Creating Topics to organize information for my Units and Modules.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely use Archiving and Old Class each year or as necessary to just remove students or keep myself up to date.  I also like that I can go back and check old classes to remember what work good and what did not work well.

Assigning to students:
I would use this to assign enrichment to my independent GRAIR students and also to differentiate activities.  We usually have 4 different skill levels in our classroom at one time.

Topics:
Looks great for keeping things organized.  ELA assignments and Math assignments can be clearly labelled.  Students usually get and ELA and a Math assignment each night for homework so they will know they need to look to look for one of each.

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving Old Classes- This would be helpful to keep myself organized. Myself and my student thrive on organization. The ability to archive classes will keep me and them organized but also allow me to still use those materials/assignments in the future.

Specific Student Posts- This will help me to differentiate to my students’ individual needs as well as help them to meet their IEP goals.

Question- This can be used in lieu of exit tickets. The other additional benefit is that the students can see and comment on each other’s responses helping them to learn to give feedback on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I can use this to pre-select groupings.  sometimes I don't need the whole class to answer the same questions so this will allow me to have groups working on different questions and we can discuss the big ideas after.

Moving posts to the top of stream:
One of the things I wish google classroom allowed you to do is change the order of in which assignments are posted on the stream.  This feature is like a cheat code to that and I intend on using it to order the activities in the lesson.

Posting a question:
I think I'll use this for entry or exit questions. I might even use the feature of assigning to different students so that I can make it post at a certain time depending on when a class meets.

# data[].attributes.body
Moving post to the top of your stream:

I have created a google classroom for my authors study this year. As I was creating an uploading the questions and assignments I noticed they were all out of order from which I wanted them completed. I can now go back and reorganize the assignments.

Posting a question:

Posting a question seems like a simple thing. I now know that I can also use a video. One thing I will use is the option of having students reply to each other posts. Part of the assignment will be that students must reply to two of their classmate’s posts.

Creating a topic:

For creating a topic I will now be able to organize my spelling word list and assignments. This way students will not need to search for the correct spelling word list and assignments that go along with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign to Specific Students is a newer feature, I believe. I have never used it and wanted to use it last year. Whenever I differentiated my assignments, I put students' names in the comments section so they knew which assignment to do. This is much more simple and much more discrete.
Archiving a Class is really useful. I hate clutter and archive my classes at the start of each new  year.
Topics is an amazing feature. I started using  it this past year and it has helped my students and me stay organized and see less clutter on the page (really helpful for students with ADHD and Autism)

# data[].attributes.body
Assign to Specific Students: this will help with differentiation. I have two or three students working on grade level or above so this would benefit them especially.
Reusing a Post:  Once I create a format for a post, I like to keep the same format but change up the information for a new topic.
Saving a Post as a Draft: This would save time when planning. I could plan out what I wanted them to respond to based on the learning- then i could post it when we get to that point in the  lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting Questions: Being an intervention teacher this would be a great way to connect with my students on days we don't meet.
Creating Topics and Organizing By Topic: I like this idea because as an intervention teacher I'm focused on particular skills with students. This would be an easy method to select the same topics for different groups.
Reuse Post: Alot  of times after 6 to 8 weeks of intervention groups are rearranged. This feature allows me to reassign a post when groups are switched.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign post to specific Students will be useful for differentiating assignments to students.
Saving post as a draft will be useful because I like to sketch out  an entire unit and i can set up the outline and post when it is ready to be viewed by students.
Archive an old class is helpful so that I can keep the desktop organized for the current year but still be able to reference past years if needed

# data[].attributes.body
Assign post to specific students: I would use this to differentiate assignments during centers.
Reuse a post: If I forgot to make a copy for each student!

Assign post to specific students
This tool would be very valuable in my self-contained class.  It would allow me to differentiate easily, and privately.
Saving posts as drafts
I would use this to get the most of my planning time.  I could start, or work on a post when I thought of it and come back to continue working when I had more time. It would alleviate the pressure of getting a post ready all in one sitting.
Posing a question
This might be useful as a quick check for understanding, without the pressure and embarrassment that some students feel when they have to answer questions in class.  I think it might also be a fun tool to use to take quick surveys with the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign post to specific students: this allows me to give special assignments inside Google classroom, like independent study, special types of make-up work, extra credit.  In addition, I would use it to differentiate to offer choice.  This could be the choice of topic, product, or process depending on the assignment and learning goals.
Archiving an old post: I would use  this to keep my google classroom main page organized from semester to semester and/or from year to year.  Oftentime if a page is cluttered it adds to student confusion and time off task which effectives overall achievement.
Using Posts in Multiple classes:  this tool adds to my overall efficiency as a teacher because I teach multiple sections of 2 different courses.  With this feature I can quickly get assignments to students.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign Post to Specific students: This will allow me to differentiate my assignments in my self-contained classroom. I can challenge students who have met a certain goal and also allow others to revisit a skill they need further assistance with.
Archive an Old Class: This is a very
useful tool so the main page has relevant material on it for the current school year.
Moving Post to Top of the Stream: This tool will allow myself and students to see the most current work needed to be accomplished instead of wasting time scrolling for it.

I would use this to organize my google classroom landing page.  Since I have been using google classroom for 4 years I have many classes that I do not need to see anymore.
Assign post to specific student
I LOVE THIS FEATURE.  This feature is great to use for guided reading groups, differentiation of homework, and handing out leveled work digitally to students
Moving post to top of screen
I use this feature to reuse weekly posts, such as student weekly reading log. I also use this to highlight an assignment for the class.
