I archive my old classes, only keeping my active classes. This option is nice because it keeps my old assignments and posts near but not cluttering up my Google classroom.
I rarely use the repost option  beacuse I like to keep my assignments current.  I do repost when I am asking for an observation at different times of the quarter.
Posting a question is effective way to begin class - it focuses the students and lets me see what they are learning.

Assign Posts to Specific Students--This feature is useful for any differentiated classroom. I will use it to tailor work to reading or math groups of different levels. I teach in a multi-grade classroom with students doing a combination of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade work.  Almost every assignment I give is differentiated for at least 3 groups.

Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream--

This will be useful as I revise my plans throughout the week. Often I have misjudged the speed a group of students will learn new material. I will use this feature to introduce an “intermediate step” when I’ve taken too big of a step in my regular plans. If, for example, a group is struggling and needs a little more practice on today’s work before moving on, I can add a new assignment at the top that the group can complete before moving on with the previous plan that is already entered.

Saving a Draft Post-- This feature will be useful as I create long-range plans with my grade level partners. In our meetings, we often sketch out assignments and lessons in order to keep consistency between our rooms. The tentative plans we create can be firmed up as I review the draft more immediately before my class meetings. It will be handy for us to share these drafts and keep them to keep ourselves coordinated in our instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating Topics- I like the idea of organizing information my units of study or subject areas. I like the idea of each subject area having its own area and not all on the one continuous stream.

Posting a question- Questioning is a teachers are of strength. This is just another mode in which students can answer, either individually or in partners. It can be a quick was to assess prior knowledge or to determine whether a student understands a topic.

Assignments Posted to multiple students- This is a great way to differentiate assignments and questions. This could be a way to challenge your students who finish early and have extra time to complete an additional assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign Post to Specific Student: The will help immensely with differentiation. I will be able to assign different levels without students seeing the paper or level of each student.

Posting to Multiple Classes: Posting the same content to multiple classes will save me so much time! I will use it because it allows me more time to differentiation and plan versus physically prepping for each class.

Posting a Question: I typically begin class with a question relating to the topic of the day. Using Google Classroom to ask this question allows ALL students to participate and includes all 4 modalities (if we share out after) in one simple step.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting to Multiple Classes: simplifies the process of creating and posting assignments for each of the sections of a given class - use it every day.

Assigning work to specific students: love the opportunity to offer work to a specific student - use when students miss class, can easily get them the missed work.

Creating Topics: able to create different "spaces" for students - have a "Just Because" topic, the topic allows me to share interesting content that does not align with curriculum currently being discussed.

# data[].attributes.body
Saving Posts as a Draft- I like this feature. Often times, I do not have a large period of time where I can plan a whole lesson to put into Google Classroom. If I can save it as a draft, I can come back to it later to double check what I have and then finalize and assign it.

Posting a Question- Posting a question is a nice, quick way to have students participate. I would mostly use this feature as an exit ticket or even as a pre-assessment before a lesson to see what background knowledge my student may have.

Using Posts in Multiple Classes- As a Resource teacher, I have many groups throughout the day. In the future, I am considering using different classrooms for each resource group. Being able to use posts in multiple classroom could be a very useful tool for me in order to save time and not have to do the same post over and over again for each class.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of posting to a small group foe giving different tasks but I can also give the same task differentiated. The idea of posting a question is great fi a group of kids want to answer together or I wanna start a debate. I think that a repost would be good if I notice many of the kids did not get something or if I want to take an assignment further. So for example if I create a graphic organizer asking for the elements of fiction but then decide to ask for the moral or theme of story.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting a Question:  There are so many ways to post a question.  Right now, my third graders are working solving multiplication and division word problems.  I could post a question and have students solve it and submit for feedback.  I could also  use it as a class brainstorming activity.
When to reuse a post:  I actually had trouble with getting my post to make a copy for each student and this explained why and how to fix that.
Moving a post to the top of a stream.- I think this could be beneficial when revisiting a topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving the classroom – This would be beneficial If I were to teach the same course multiple years in a row. Being able to retrieve old courses and change improvise them if needed would make things much easier than attempting to recreate the same course from scratch.

Organizing topics – I would use this to help organize information for my students. This way they would easily be able to locate assignments and information. This would also help students review materials at the end of the year.

Moving post to top of stream – Being able to move posts to the top of the stream would make it easier to make important posts easy to find. This could be helpful when assignments are due, allowing students to clearly identify which assignments due dates are coming up.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I like being able to move posts to the top of the stream.  I have noticed that posts can get lost.  Students seem to pay attention to the most recent ones and may forget something I need them to remember.
2.  Assigning to specific students is also a cool feature.  This allows for differentiating without making it obvious to everyone else that some students are getting modified or adjusted tasks.
3. I was always afraid to archive my past classes thinking they would be gone forever but hate how cluttered my home screen gets. I'm glad I watched that video. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Assign posts to specific students-I would use this to differentiate for my small groups.
Using posts in multiple classes- This would be good if I were to departmentalize.
Posting a question - this would be helpful if all students needed to answer the same question(s)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archive an old class and recover an archived class: I would use this to save old classes for future reference.

2. Assign posts to specific students: I would use this to assign projects to specific groups of students.

3. Moving posts to the top of the stream: I would use this to move current assignments to the top for better organization.

# data[].attributes.body
Moving posts to the top of the stream - I often will make announcements in class while the students are working. When the class is over, I move the assignment back to the top.

Assigning post to more then one class is a quick way to give assignments to multiple classes of the same prep or get an announcement out to every student.

Creating Topics - Things move down the stream quickly and I use this so the students can find things easily.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assigning post to different students - I feel this would be a great way to assign enrichment  or extension activities, or extra credit to students who would like to complete extra assignments.
2. Creating Topics - I like that classroom allows you add topics. I can add assignments, videos or review questions based on different topics in order for students to study, especially for finals.
3. Posting a Question - I can post questions for students to answer and reflect on throughout the lesson or to engage student thinking before the lesson

# data[].attributes.body
1. I have use archiving a class before. I usually archive my Google Classrooms at the beginning of each school year so that my former students can focus on their new classes. I will use restoring a class to access  assignment ideas.
2. I love the create a topic option. I have not yet used this, but it will help to organize assignments and posts withing a subject area.
3.Assigning a post to specific students - I will use this to provide differentiation and enrichment activities for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assigning post to specific students: I can assign certain assignments depending on their skill level and artistic interests.
2. Sorting by topic: I love the idea of this because a lot of topics overlap - example color mixing, value, etc that can be used as a reference for a variety of works. '
3. Reuse a post: I love that I can use a post again and students can review how they previously answered. I enjoy asking students to share out or journal prior to beginning an activity and then share at the end to see how their thoughts and opinions may have changed. It may also help them see how certain materials may impact their creative choices.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Assigning post to specific students:  I think this is a great way to differentiate learning.  You can assign tasks of various levels to specific students.
2) Creating topics:  This features is awesome.  I like that you can assign topics to assignments so they are easier to find at a later time.  This creates a much more organized google classroom
3) Saving a draft: I like to schedule work to post. This allows me to plan ahead of time and have it posted (so I don't forget).

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assigning Posts to Specific Students: I would use this to differentiate the material being assigned to different students. For example, some students may receive shorter/chunked assignments, or have sentence starters provided.
2. Posting a Question: I would use this to post essential questions, or attach a video/article for students to view/read and respond to.
3. Creating Topics: This is a great tool to keep assignments organized by module or topic.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Posting Questions
I plan to use this in the bridge of my lessons. I think having the students start class thinking about a question is important to get their ideas flowing!
2. Creating Topics
I like this because it not only keeps students organized, but also keeps me organized. A lot of my classes overlap and this will allow me to keep the different topics separated, which will save me headaches now, and later!
3. Archiving
I plan to use this in future years, so that I can have a clean-looking dashboard, but still have all of my important documents/posts from previous years. It will also allow me to see how I've grown as a teacher by seeing what updates/changes I make.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Posting Questions.
I  like this as a way to further the thinking of my students in certain areas or topics.  It can be used as thoughts to the weeks work or as homework.

2.  Reuse a post
I like that the teacher can go back and reuse a post from the past.  This can get kids thinking about previous ideas and adding onto those ideas as they progress through lessons.

3.  Creating Topics
I like this as a way to organize subjects or units. It makes finding Docs or assignments easier than everything all together.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Sorting By Topic
I could use this to keep track of assignments that I have given. I can keep track of how often I am assigning students math questions versus how often I assign ELA questions. It will also help in keeping myself organized.
2. Posting a Question
I have used this to review important/essential questions with students. It helps students have conversations with classmates about a topic or even learn a new concept through watching a video.
3. Assigning a post to specific students
I would use this specifically for my small group instruction. Often my students are split based on where they are, especially in guided reading. I can ask higher level thinking questions related to specifics books that certain students might be using while not overwhelming or confusing my class by posting about every book.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assign Posts to Specific Students
I will use it to differentiate assignments because students have different needs.
2. Posting a Question
I will use it for QOTD (Question of the Day) or TOTD (Ticket out the door) because I need to check for background knowledge and student understanding.
3. Creating Topics
I will use it to organize different units because it will make it easier to locate materials

# data[].attributes.body
Post a Question: I would post questions to have students think about a topic discussed in class that day, or if I posted a video clip for them to watch at home that pertained to the topics discussed that day.
Reuse A post:
With all of these new features I am currently "mastering" I can almost guarantee i will forget to make a copy for each student as I assign multiple assignments in google classroom. this feature gives me the option to correct mistake without having to redo the whole assigning process.
Using multiple classrooms: I teach multiple sections of the same course. This feature allows me to make an assignment once and distribute to all necessary sections. Definitely convenient!!

# data[].attributes.body
Post a question:
I would post comprehension questions for students in my book club.

Assign  post to certain students: I will assign differentiated assignments to various students based on groupings.  An example would be different comprehension questions based on the different texts groups are reading.

Post assignments to different classrooms: This I can use to share information for different teams I am apart of. For example, things I share for Problem Solving, I can also share to my Teacher Leaders page so all colleagues receive the same information.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assign posts to certain students. I chose to watch this video first because I am a SPED teacher and need to differentiate by abilities and interests. When you differentiate on Google Classroom it is only the teacher and the student able to view, so that the other students would not have to notice.
2. Using in multiple classrooms. I teach a few sections of the same class, and being able to post assignments to many classes can save me time.
3. Reuse a Post. I like this one because sometimes we have an idea about an assignment, but then think of something else to add or remove to make it better. This option lets us revise the post and repost it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archiving an old class and recovering an old class. This would be helpful to do when you want to switch from one class year to the next year. There might be information from the previous class that you'd like to use for the new class.
2. Assign post to specific students. This allows a teacher to differentiate the work by student. Very useful tool that gives students privacy--that their assignment is only shown to them.
3. Posing a Question. This is a fast way a teacher can privately survey students. It allows students to be private in their response to the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Posting Questions. This is a great way to create "paper free" assignments. My son has many of these tasks to do as homework. Teachers can also use these as a way to demonstrate study techniques.

2. Assigning Posts to Specific Students. What a great way to differentiate! I especially like that it becomes a private assignment so other students won't always have to know when their peers are getting different work. This might help with confidence of some of our older students with learning needs.

3. Organizing Topics.
This tool makes the Classroom much more user friendly. Great for looking up information without having to go through the whole content. I think this would be helpful when studying for an assessment. Students can easily review posts from a specific topic to review information.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Archiving a classroom makes it fresh and new each year.  If you use google classroom enough, it keeps your classrooms up to date with the year you are teaching.

2.  Assigning Posts to specific students allows for an easy way to differentiate student work.  This way each student feels successful.

3. Organizing topics is an easy way to find where lessons are and how to direct students.

# data[].attributes.body
Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream - I like that we have the ability to organize posts. If we need to revisit something or there is a particular post that gets buried due to additional subsequent posts, it’s good that we have the option to rearrange the stream.

Using posts in multiple classes - I often work on the same research project with a teacher who is teaching multiple sections of the same class. It is efficient to be able to post the same thing to multiple classes at the same time.

Saving Posts as Drafts -As the school librarian, I am often a second collaborating teacher  when a class is working on a project. Because I don’t control the flow of the class, it is helpful to be able to draft upcoming posts and assignments and then work with the teacher to determine when they should be dropped into the classroom stream.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Organizing topics.  I like to organize my topics by the day.  So for each assignment, it includes the day's agenda, links to anything that is in the lesson, handouts copied for each student that they will be working on.

2..Archiving the classroom.  This works well if I use the google classroom and teach the same course, I can unarchive the class and all of my materials are all organized and set to be used again.

3. Reusing a post, I can take a post from an archived class and reuse it in a current google classroom. It saves a lot of time.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assign posts to specific students is an easy way to differentiate. This could work out great for reading groups too.
2. Using posts in multiple classes is very helpful when you are teaching multiple classes. That could really save time.
3. Reusing a post also makes things easier. If I have weekly assignments or an assignment that I frequently assign, this could save a lot of time.

# data[].attributes.body
Organizing Topics: I think that it is important to organize topics for students so that they are able to keep track of what they need to do. hey will be able to find things that they need with ease.Many of my kids have a hard time keeping their desks organized and this impedes their school work when they can't find things. By organizing topics on Google Classroom, what they need is a click away.

Posting Questions: This feature will make it easier to assign questions to students that I find on websites, in text books, etc. With the lack of workbooks, posting questions from text books to my classroom will allow me to get responses from everyone in an orderly fashion.......I won't have papers flying all over the place.

Post Questions To Specific Students: This will enable me to differentiate instruction or pose specific questions to specific reading groups or do quick probes to see where kids are at with certain skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I would post questions for specific students as a way of differentiating for the special education students that I teach.
I would move a post to the top when I want to ensure that students see it. This would also help students who need to reread something.
I would save posts as drafts when I am planning and not ready to use them yet.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I would post a question(s) weekly to either get students brainstorming on up coming topics or post question to assess students knowledge on current topics.

2)Moving a post to the top of stream would be beneficial for students who are stuggling and need to revist learned material or for students who have missed class/assignments.

3) Creating topics would be a must! Organization is very important and a great skill to teach students. Teaching history, breaking it up by events/units/chapters would help students to identify the different times and events in history.

# data[].attributes.body
Assign post to specific student
I would use this tool to differentiate questions and assignments for different students to meet the varying needs across my classroom.

Moving post to top of stream
I would use this aspect of Google Classroom to ensure my stream is organized and has the most recent or relevant topic at the top.

Posting a question
I would use this assignment to get a quick check for student understanding at the end of a lesson as an exit ticket.

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays everyone is looking for questions that contain "rigor", therefore I will use Google Classroom to Post a Question to promote higher thinking level questions.

As a high school teacher, I would need to use Google Classroom for multiple classes so that everyone can benefit from differentiated lessons.

I like to plan lessons in advance so by saving posts as a draft and assigning lessons later is very helpful to accomodate my very busy schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
Using Posts in Multiple Classrooms:
I am also going to piggyback off what someone else said that using google classroom cuts down on all the copies we make but is still a great way for students to be able to demonstrate what they know and for us to grade their work without all of the papers!

# data[].attributes.body
Using Posts in Multiple Classrooms:
I would use this in Google classroom because I teach the same subject multiple times and often I think its valuable for students to see that they are working on the same materials as their classmates from different classes and can campare assignments or help one another if they are taking the same class with me, just in a different period. It helps with collaboration among students.
Creating topic and organizing by topic: I think this is valuable to get students attention and also to have them "mentally" revisit labs and curriculum that we have already completed or previously worked on. They can use this as a study tool as well as a way to keep track of what they have learned and worked on.

Reuse a post: I think that sometimes it is important to "add to" or reflect on topics that have already covered, or even to go over that material again. This would be a great way for students to work together and go back to what they have learned and add to it or adjust it if they feel they need too.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Assigning posts to specific scholars allows me to differentiate for my bilingual class so that I don't have so much digital clutter. This allows me to put language appropriate documents in the hands of the scholars that needs them the most.

2) Using posts in my others classes saves me some time from having to make an assignment for each Google Classroom. They only thing I wish they would revise or alter is the ability to schedule the same assignments to the classes at different times. It only allow you to schedule when you create things for individual classes.

3) Moving things to the top of the stream is a great way for me to prioritize or reintroduce materials, activities or resources that we have used in the past that may have gotten lost in the shuffle of the year.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archiving and Recovering would be nice if you were to create a class for each major domain/topic which you could then archive after assessment to focus on the current topic and recover at the end of the class to review as necessary
2. Assigning posts to specific students would be great for differentiation between tier 1, 2 and 3 kids.
3. Saving posts as drafts and then assigning when ready would be great for pre-planning and then implementing as needed. Also nice to have things ready to go if you happen to need a sub.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assign post to specific students: I would use this as a tool for differentiation. Every student may not need to work on the same learning target. This is good for meeting students where they're at.

2. Using posts in multiple classes: I teach 3 algebra courses. Two of them are moving at the same pace. If I give one class an assignment, I would most likely need to use it again in the other class. At some point, I would also need to use it in the third class, once we are there.

3. Posting a question: I love this feature for surveying the students. Last year, we used it to survey students about what activity they would like to do on the last day of school. It put all of their answers into a spread sheet and made it easy to group students accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Archiving
This is helpful to reduce the clutter in my Courses page so that I will only see the courses I am currently using.  Older courses can still be accessed if I need something.

Reusing Posts
This is a nice logistical feature to save time when starting a new year.  I can pull posts from previous courses to populate a new course's stream so that my instruction is consistent.

Topics
This is another logistical feature to keep organized. I can sort by each topic, so if I want to pull all the quizzes out for instance, I can do this.

# data[].attributes.body
Assigning post to specific students
I will use this feature to differentiate instruction. I will also use it to help a student who may not have mastered a particular lesson

# data[].attributes.body
Posting a question
I will post a question when introducing and or reviewing a lesson.  It spikes student’s curiosity so it will engage them on the subject.     It could be an essential question in the class

# data[].attributes.body
Archive
I will use archive to save assignments that worked well with students in a previous class.  It is also an organized way of storing files for future reference or use.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive
This option will be helpful for saving and organizing. The archive helps keep the dashboard uncluttered but allows you to say classrooms that you may reuse in the future.
Assign  post to different students.
This feature is perfect for differentiation. Simplified instruction or additional leaning tools can be provided to students who need it.
Save Draft
I would use this feature when I pre-plan. It would also be a way to save videos or articles you find that will be  relevant for future

# data[].attributes.body
1. Posting a question
I would use this as the question of the day and review it everyday for a week. I would then give a quiz on Friday made up of 5 questions that I had posted.
2. Reuse a post
I would use this as a review for the questions that will be on the Friday quiz. Each day I review the new question of the day and the questions that were from the days before.
3.Assigning to specific students
This is excellent for student who have inconsistent attendance to have them make up work that might be different then the original assignment.

# data[].attributes.headline
1. Assigning work to individual students.  

# data[].attributes.subject
1. Assigning work to individual students.  

# data[].attributes.body
This is a great way to differentiate and scaffold assignments!  I can also use it to assign different materials to different groups for collaborative assignments, such as class jigsaws.

2. Creating Topics
I create topics to help keep myself and my students organized.  This allows students to self-assess how they are doing in a specific category of work (for example Questions of the Day - Classwork) and it allows me to review current and past units.
3. Moving posts to the top
I find this to be especially helpful if I want to revisit a previous assignment (for example, "Re-read the paragraph you wrote at the beginning of the unit. What new details could you add now?"), or if many students are missing an assignment (I can verbally remind them and then they see the assignment at the top of their stream.

# data[].attributes.body
I would post a question in order to get the entire class thinking. This clearly isn't as formal as an Assignment, but a question can lead to great group discussion.

2. Reuse a Post
I would reuse a post in order to 'harp' on information that I find to be crucial.

3. Assign to specific students
As Ms. Abate mentioned, this can make differentiation very easy. Also, if a particular student needed extra work in order to raise their grade, this could also provide a simple way to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use the assign to individual students to differentiate assignments for my students.

I would use Save as Draft to load all assignments for the week, then each day just hit publish to make them go live.

I would use Move Post to the Top to help organize my stream

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archive an old class
Since all of my lesson resources will be posted to Google Classroom, it will be a great reference for planning for next year.  I will want to archive it as to not confuse this year's students.
2. Assigning to specific students
This makes differentiation easy! I can post different versions of assignments based on student need.
3. Move post to top
This helps the students to not be confused.  They have a hard time scrolling to find an assignment. It is easiest if the current work in listed first.
