This app helps absent students and homebound students access assignments and notes from class as well as communicate with their teacher.

I'm working on making a digital breakout activity for Supply & Demand using Forms as the "locks;" just another way to add some interesting twists to class instruction

I post slide shows and handouts on  Google Classroom so students can review them at home to prepare for quizzes.

I have been using StoryboardThat.com to have my students create comic strips for a few years now, and I always had them complete it in the library and print it out for me to hand grade. This year, I had them take a screenshot of their finished comic strip and submit it on Google classroom. It was so easy for the students to do, and even easier for me to grade it directly on the computer and give immediate feedback.

We are using Google Docs in Honors English 2 to have the students complete timed, in-class group essays. This is part of a larger writing process that encourages students to think more quickly about essay prompts, to find quality text evidence, and to provide corresponding insightful commentary to improve their critical thinking skills. Google Docs makes the group essay much easier than other methods, and it allows me to see what each group member has contributed to the essay.

I use Google Slides most days as my agenda, and it pretty much runs through the entirety of the class period's lesson(s). Doing it this way helps me stay on track, provides visual cues for the students to follow, and allows for absent students to view the Slides presentation at home so they do not feel "behind."

Google Classroom is very user-friendly for students and for the teacher, especially adding files from my drive to the class feed, and also having students submit assignments from their drive to the Classroom site. This also encourages them to use their school Gmail account, which is a skill they will have to use once they get to college as well.

I use Google Classroom for many of my projects and assignments. They had some updates this year. This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4LXMdIdLFk has great information about the updates and the new classwork tab. I love the classwork tab because it makes it so much easier to look at assignments for both students and teachers.

I'd like to use Google Forms to make exit tickets and quizzes for my students. I love how the students receive instant feedback on their responses and can know their grade immediately after submitting the assignment.

This year will be my first time using this technology. I think that it will be very beneficial and I am excited to see how I can use all parts in my class.

I love Google Classroom so that I can post all major assignments, videos, notes, etc. that we are doing in class. This is particularly great for keeping students up to date when they are absent or fall behind. It also helps when they lose materials and need additional copies. I use Google Slides a lot for my agenda and objective so that students can see it while they are working and know what to have out and expect that day when they enter the room.

I LOVE Google Classroom. All of the students' assignments and announcements can be posted here so that the information can always be at their fingertips. It is also excellent for when students are absent or fall behind as they can always reference Classroom for notes, helpful guides, or past assignments.

We are using Google Docs to collaborate on group essays in E2H. The kids like it as they can aid each other in the thought process. The Docs also allow the students to see how much each student is contributing to the collaboration and who excels best at each piece of the writing process.

When passing out a lot of papers is an issue, Slides is great to have on Classroom to prevent the mass 🤬 of trees. The students have access to it at all times too.

Google is slowly winning me over. I used to hate Google Docs, but in the past few years, I have been requiring its use more. My kids type documents in Docs, create slide shows in Slides, and I may use it create quizzes. Since I have the Chromebook cart now, I have access to technology and I'll be able to use Google more.

I use Google Forms regularly to provide instant feedback to students and to also track individual student progress.

I love that there is the option of manually grading (which is fast and easy on Forms) to have students provide short answer responses.  I use Forms for both quizzes and classwork because it provides them that instant feedback (when not grading manually) and I often allow them to go back and fix their answers for full credit (they can see which answers are wrong, but they cannot see the correct answer).

I am very excited to have Chromebooks this year. I use them for everything from classwork assignments, quizzes, and especially things like Quizlet games. I like to see who can get the highest score when studying vocabulary.

I almost entirely use SmartNotebook for my slides, but I would really like to switch over to Google Slides for the reason of it being much easier to share with absent students.

I have always loved Slides, but I also love what SmartNotebook offers in terms of engaging tools like the infinite cloner.  I may be able to save those as simple activities to pull up on SmartNotebook, though.

It is such a hassle to export SmartNotebook slides to PDF. Most of the time it behaves like the file has been saved, but it never is when I look in the location it has been saved to regardless of which computers I am using.

I regularly use Google Docs for rubrics or when I want data to show students have actually opened up and read certain documents.

I remember in college having a class Google Doc study guide for our midterms and final. I think I may want to implement that somehow in my classroom - have specific people take turns adding to it.
