Inviting parents: I like being able to keep parents in the loop and give them the opportunity to see what is going on in class.  Transparency is important.  It also opens up another line of communication with them.

Give Feedback on assignments:
The feedback capabilities is great for communicating with students and having it saved for each assignments is a great tool when speaking with parents and also if needed to help a student at a later date.

Adding Students: We always have students entering and leaving classes and the school. Keeping an updated roster is helpful since the classroom is not linked to powerschool.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive classes and delete.- I think this is very useful to know because once you create a lot of classrooms it can be overwhelming if you have so many to manage, therefore being able to archive a class and still be able to go back and look it will allow you to remember what you did the prior year if you need a little help with planning.
Announcements: This can be really effective to inform students when they will have their next celebration(quiz ) and what to study.
Give feedback on assignments- This grants me the opportunity to keep learning ongoing outside of the classroom , especially with the new addition of chrome books to students. Also, students can directly get guidance from me and instant correction to continue that they learn the right way to use grammar.

Announcements:
Very useful to be able to send out reminders and due dates. I would be able to post about the assignments and the make sure there are updates.
Parent:
I think this would be useful for parents to be able to check on missing work and be sure their child is staying on track. This could also allow parents to see where their child is struggling and possibly help at home too.
Adding students: sometimes we have students that switch in and out of the classes and it is helpful to know how to do this!

# data[].attributes.body
-Adding Students: I have had students join my class after the first day of school or students have been switched from one class to another and this feature has been very helpful.  It is very easily done and actually some students know how to do it and have helped me do it.
-Post Announcements: This has been very helpful in case I have needed to change dates for assignments or make actual changes to the assignment.  Posting it makes it easier for the students as well in case they are absent one day.
-Email students: This I do not use enough, but it has been helpful to stay in contact with students.  Sometimes they check their assignments throughout the day so that helps too.

# data[].attributes.body
Post Announcements

I will post upcoming assignments. (quiz, projects etc..)

I will keep students informed of upcoming events and it is a central location where students always know where to find it.

Grade & Return an Assignment

Grading assignments on line will allow me to respond quickly and not have to take hard copies home. It will allow me to save time and keep an on-line record of the students work

Give Feedback on Assignments

The students and I can communicate about the assignment. I can provide immediate feedback.  It would allow me to streamline my comments by having common responses in a Google Doc that I could copy, paste and revise for the individual student.

# data[].attributes.body
Turn on/ off notifications.  This is the first feature I would like to use.  It would be great to know when students have accomplished assignments, so I know I can begin grading their work.  I think this would help me stay organized, and get students very timely feedback on their assignments.

Adding a student.  What a great feature!  As a teacher in the district, it is very common to get new students, and fairly often.  With this this feature, it looks like new students can be caught up and added to a class' section very easily.  This would also help in terms of organization with the new student.  All the online materials would be there for them already!

E-mailing parents.  This is a great way to stay up-to-date with parent communication, and shoot them messages whenever need be.  This is also a great way for parents to get in touch with me for any questions or concerns they may have in regards to their child's learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive and delete a class - If you don't clean up old classes you run the possibility of assigning work to old classes. I would use the archived classes to get ideas from old assignments.

Post Announcements -  It's a good way to share information and have it written down for students when they forget the information.

Grade and return assignments - Instant feedback is always ideal for students. great for documentation purposes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Setting Up Grading

There are assignments that I want to grade as a percentage. I do this for tests and quizzes, and also will do this if I want to give students grades out a percentage such as a + is a 94, a check + is a 84, etc. Deciding if I want to grade an assignment out of a percentage or out of points is really helpful.

2. Giving Feedback on Assignments

Letting students know how they did on an assignment and giving them feedback on changing that they could make on their assignments or things that I really liked about their assignments is so useful!

3. Adding Topics on Class Pages

I mainly use my google classroom for ELA and when I do, I like separating assignments and projects by adding them under different topics and categories, as some of the tasks are relating to writing and others are part of an ELA Module.

# data[].attributes.body
The first feature I would use is Turning Notifications On or Off. I would use this to let students know when I had provided feedback for them so that the feedback would not be looked over. This could improve student learning and students success. This feature would also let students know when I have returned work to them.

The second feature I would use is Posting Announcement for Your Students. I would use this to inform students of any reminders, or modifications, with an assignment. This would lead to clearer communication between teacher and students and could result in higher success of the students.

The third feature I would use is Email All Students Who Submitted or Didn't Submit Work. This feature would serve as a great reminder to students who did not get their work turned in, to get their work turned in! This is a great feature to also let students who did turn in work, that their assignment was successfully received. This feature would also serve to improve students' achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
Who is the intended audience? What is your intended use for the Google Form you created?

The google form I created is survey for parents to answer some brief questions about the RTI program. We see the students on a daily basis, send home letters and Aimsweb reports every marking period, but the feedback is minimal. This is a great way to stay to keep in the loop with parents and find out what they need as providers of their children. Staying in touch, offering support, and keeling an open line of communication are key to the success of the intervention program. I really like the variety and creativity of using the google forms!

# data[].attributes.body
Create 1 post describing how you would use each of the three features in Google Classroom and why?
The three features I would begin using are adding students, post announcements, and emailing students. I would add students into Google classroom because this is a place for students to complete assignments and their teacher to provide feedback.  Posting announcements will allow me to keep students informed of new assignments. Emailing students will help with the accountability piece on both the teacher's end as well as the student's end. I will be able to sort students by those who turned in work, assigned work and graded or returned work.

# data[].attributes.body
I would add students. At this point I have announced the classroom code in my classes but not everyone has joined. I would add students so that students at LyncX and ISS,etc would know that they can access assignments online. I would post announcements to let students know about upcoming quizzes and to remind them of due dates of announcements. Further, I would email guardians with the same announcements previously mentioned.

# data[].attributes.body
The only 3 features I was interested in were to Post Announcements, Emailing Guardians and Inviting Guardians.
As a school counselor, most of our job is informing our students and parents about upcoming school events.  For example, Open House, FAFSA night, College events and such.  Posting Announcements would be a great way to communicate to students and remind them about important dates.  Emailing parents would be another bonus for another reminder.  Wouldn't it be great, seeing every parent and student at a school event, instead of an empty room and a bunch of leftovers.
Inviting Parents to google suite, helping them feel as though they are not only part of a classroom but also part of the school community.  RCSD has always complain that there is not enough Parent engagement.  I bet using these tools will increase parent engagement tremendously.

# data[].attributes.body
a.  What is the focus for the Slides Presentation?
b. How do you plan on using it with your students/colleagues?

The focus on Rhyme Thyme was to review previous skills that were taught in intervention. We did not do the beginning skills aspect of this lesson on the smart board. It was done through DEI at my U-table with paper/pencil activities. This presentation will be fun and interactive. The kindergarten students can come up to the board and circle the answer and add rhyming words on the next slide by writing the word on the board. I can also share this with the kindergarten teacher to use again at a center with a small or whole group for added review and repetition.

# data[].attributes.body
Create 1 post describing how you would use each of the three features in Google Classroom and why?
First feature would be Manage classroom settings- there's so much to do with this feature. You can archive a class, change a class, check on my assignments, and I like the calendar aspect of it as well. Second feature would be Emailing guardians. What a great way to communicate with our student's family. this may be an easier form of finding out how your child is doing and keeping up with their schoolwork. Third feature is Giving feedback on assignments. There's a lot of creativity going on here. I like being able to create docs or change them. I like the personable touch with commenting on student's work, helping them out and giving them a chance to read what we wrote and make changes where necessary or just be happy if we give them a kudos on a job well done!

# data[].attributes.body
Emailing Guardians
I would use emailing guardians in order to keep the families informed about the statuses of their student's assignments because they can select their level of communication frequency, so they can be informed according to their terms and respond as they feel necessary.
Inviting Guardians
I would invite guardians so that they are able to stay informed about their student's assignments because it will provide another avenue for communication with the parents, while allowing them to select their preferred level of communication frequency.
Email Students
I would email students in order to let them know if they are missing assignments because it is a good reminder in case they might have overlooked an assignment or thought they submitted an assignment but actually didn't.

# data[].attributes.body
View an archived class.  Great way to keep work so that you can reuse it again and again with other classes. I can reflect on my teaching and make changes as  necessary.
Post announcements
I can communicate with my students who are absent and give students reminders about assignments.
Adding a student
This will make life so much easier since they just combined three classrooms into two. Doing this digitally will save alot of time.

# data[].attributes.body
Turn notifications on or off
This feature allows me to send due date reminders to my students and guardians about upcoming assignments.

Archive or delete a class
This feature allows me to keep a class that I teach consistently so I can reuse or change materials without having to find all the resources again.

Post announcements
This feature allows me to communicate with students when they aren't physically in class and send reminders about assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
Turn notifications on or off

Through notifications I can communicate with students about due dates, comments and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
View an archived class

With an archived class I can easily reuse and modify old assignments. I can also have students look at previous classes work as a resource. I can also use archived classes to compile data about students learn or give students a larger sample size when collecting data for an experiment

# data[].attributes.body
For each of the three topics you explored and tried in your Google Classroom, post how you would use it and why?

Give feedback

I read the article entitled 5 Research-Based Tips for Providing Students with Meaningful Feedback.

The first tip was to provide students with specific detail. However I somewhat disagree with this suggestion. Often times the only feedback I provide to students will be to highlight certain areas of their work. My reasoning for this is that I want students to be evaluating themselves and thinking through their processes rather than looking for me to provide the “right answer”. I am always willing to speak more with the students and try to guide them in improving their work and heading towards the desired target.

The next tip was to provide students with feedback as soon as possible. I think this is vastly important! Students will have forgotten all about an assignment a few days later. Their work needs to remain fresh and relevant. I do my best to provide students with feedback either that day or the next day. Google classroom and google docs supports the ability to provide students with either instantaneous or almost instantaneous feedback.

The third tip is feedback address the student’s advancement towards a goal. I am a believer in standards based grading. I want my students focused on their advancement towards a learning target rather than on a numerical grade. I am still learning about SBG and hope to implement more of it in the future. With google classroom and google docs I can provide feedback that links to specific learning targets that is individualized to each student. For example I can keep a progress track of student’s advancement towards a learning target and link their work as evidence for their current level of understanding. I can also link helpful websites or previous materials that may help a student who is struggling with a specific idea.

The last tip is to involve students in the process. I currently have individual meetings with students to involve them in the grading process and talk about their own individual progress and understandings. With google classroom I can have students collaborating and self-reflecting on their current and previous work. I can also have students commenting on their peers work and offering suggestions or asking questions.

# data[].attributes.body
* View an achieved class:
This is a great way to keep materials and assignments that you are going to reuse for the same class with different students. You are also able to reflect on your teaching by viewing what seemed to work and what may not have.
* Set student post and sharing permissions:
I appreciate that you are able to “mute” a student from posting. If students are not using the comment sections or stream page for appropriate posts, you are able to mute the students. You can see deleted posts or comments, so you can catch any misuse of the stream/comment section or able to help students take a look of how they were or were not on the right track during their first post. Some students get nervous they are not "correct" and will delete an original comment thinking it can't be right.

* Give feedback on assignments: It is great to be able to give students feedback individually. This way other students do not need to see what their peers need to work on. As I continue to work on kindness and a safe environment in my classroom, I will begin to allow other students to do peer reviews on their peers work and post my feedback publicly. This way other students can see why an answer is correct while another may not be.

# data[].attributes.body
"Write notes is a feature I would use in some instances when the feedback features won't quite do the trick. The guardians feature is great for communicating with parents by keeping them regularly informed. Extending the classroom has instantly become useful because it prompted me to download the app, which is another way I can stay on top of the workflow in Google classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
*Archiving a class is something I probably should have started doing a couple years ago. I have a lot of old classes in Google Classroom (which means my students do also). I don't want to delete the classes in case I ever want to use them again, so archiving is the perfect way to go.
*Inviting guardians is something I was just talking to a colleague about today. He mentioned that he invites parents to his Google Classes, which is obviously a great way to help parents stay in the loop, and something I plan to start doing in all my classes.
*I also looked at the information for providing feedback and adding comments to learn more about adding comments to the comment bank. This will make it much faster to comment on student work when a particular comment can be reused quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use the "invite your students to a class" in order to make sure they are included and able to engage with the technology. I would invite all of the students in my classes. I would use the "post announcements to your students" feature in order to keep my students updated on assignments and assessments. It could be used to explain assignments or even give reminders of due dates. In addition, I would also use google classroom to communicate with guardians. I would use it to email guardians in order to keep contact with and build relationships with parents and guardians.

# data[].attributes.body
I reviewed:
Classroom grading and setup a classroom grade book where the students work is graded by a weight system and they have access to viewing their own grades in class. I feel this will help hold them accountable for their own learning and keeping track of their progress. I also reviewed and used how to archive old classes because I had classes from the last two years just taking up space and making it difficult when moving from class to class (ICOT teacher) and making sure I am in the current year. By archiving them my google classroom page is now current to this school year and much more organized. I also reviewed how to invite other teachers to my classroom so they can post unfinished classwork there or see what my students are working on in resource class.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would use GoogleClassroom as a communication tool. It would keep me accountable in terms of keeping students informed, students who miss classes can easily see what they have missed and everyone has equal access to the latest information. I really like the ability to create assignments. I could even create different assignments based on ability. Students can volunteer to have their assignments shared, including my feedback, and get further feedback from their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I reviewed:
*Emailing Guardian: I would use this feature to keep my parents/guardians up to date and current on missing work, upcoming work and class activities. This will encourage them to engage with their children as well as help me maintain classroom leverage with individual assignment.
*Grade and Return Assignment:
I will use this feature to improve my overall feedback with my students. This will give kids consistent, positive academic feedback on assignments. This feature is quicker for students to get feedback. Their turnaround time will be faster.
*Email Students:
I will use this feature to improve my turn around time by emailing the results to students. Letting them know what has been turned in, assigned, graded or returned. This will increase my accountability, as well as my students. This will provide a written record.

# data[].attributes.body
Would love to utilize this feature, how do I get accurate emails/cellphone numbers to share the information with parents?  And does our district automatically have this feature accessible for teachers?
Student feedback:  will use this more regularly and immediately.
Invite teachers:  this is great when there is a resource teacher that wants to support your students, or a co-teacher

Adding a student - this feature makes it easy to keep my class list current.  Our class has changed multiple times already this school year.  Using feedback - I'm excited to try to comment bank as I am finding that I'm writing similar comments to many students.  I am always looking for ways to cut down on time spent providing feedback, without compromising info for my students.  Post announcements - I haven't used this feature yet, but will start.  I'm assuming many of my students will enjoy getting information this way.  It is also one more thing for them to read, and comprehend.

I reviewed:
 * Invite students into your class
 * Copy a class
 * Post announcements
 * Email students who didn't submit work

I even managed to try to some of these already. In the last assignment, when asked to submit a snip of the topic and assignment, I wanted to try it out. Not having any students, I invited myself through my personal email address. My alternate self completed and submitted the assignment and then I graded it and sent back feedback. I also decided to send an email to my other me and I posted an announcement to me class of 1.  I am glad I had the opportunity to try out all these features, which is how I would implement them in my class. I will add the students in my class into my Google Classroom. Once we have the Chromebooks, I can send them assignments to complete at their desks and communicate with them via the email feature. I can post announcements that the whole class will receive.  I copied the class so I can start from scratch next year and keep all the assignments I have created for my class this year. Good stuff!

Post Announcements: I use this feature to remind students of important dates and remind them when assignments are due. Give Feedback on Assignments: I use this feature everyday. I use this to conference with students on their work as they are completing it. Grade and return an assignment: I use this feature so I can grade the student's work and return it back to them so they know how they did.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been using this to post announcements, which I like very much because they are all "right there"; students cannot claim that they didn't see it or didn't get it. Archiving and deleting a class is kind of a satisfying ritual at the end of the year! I'm looking forward to giving feedback the most, though. What a great tool to give immediate, specific, individualized, private feedback, that the student can always refer back to!

# data[].attributes.body
Setting Notifications -- I am one of many teachers who co-teach in our school's support room program, and I co-teach certain classes in my discipline as well.  We have huge Google classrooms set up, with massive enrollments -- and last year I nearly tore out my hair because I was constantly being bombarded with email notifications every time a student made a comment or turned in a late assignment (and many of these were students who were not even mine),  Now I can adjust notifications so I am not receiving them from those sections!  What a difference!
Reusing a Post -- This is something I can use when I want to recycle assignments from previous years and tweak them a little in the directions.  It is a huge timesaver to be able to go back and re-use something that was an effective tool in the past.
Grade and Return an Assignment -- I have never used the grade function with Google Classroom before, but it can be a good way of getting work back to students before I see them again, and to give them a chance to resubmit an assignment and respond to feedback that I give them. Since our block scheduling has us meet students only every other day, this can make it more immediate for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Adding a student- i am constantly seeing new students and adjusting and adding students to the class roster. Post announcements- i use this feature to highlight important dates and assignments to remind students and parents of upcoming events. Using feedback- this is a useful tool to develop good writers and let students know how they are doing, its a confidence builder.

# data[].attributes.headline
Adding a student- I use this feature as students enroll in my classroom. Once I add them I know they will have access to my course and are able to start their assignments.Post announcements- I use the stream feature to remind students of assignment timelines and communicate additional information to the entire class. I have used a screencastify to introduce myself to students in the announcements/stream. Give feedback on assignments- I love this feature because I can give feedback and assistance on a fairly quick turnaround.

# data[].attributes.body
Give Feedback on Assignments:
I would use this to create feedback "checkpoints" when students are working on a project. I am trying to encourage my students to be more independent, however after completing their first project this year, I realized that they would have benefited from a little more guidance from me along the way. Using feedback in Google Classroom is helpful because the student can read the feedback even if they aren't in class.
Add Topics to Classwork Page:
I am trying to organize my Classroom pages by unit, so I will be utilizing the topics a lot. I am glad to learn that I can rearrange the topic order because recently I forgot to add an older topic to Classroom and it automatically populated at the top so they were out of order, but now I can put them in the correct order.
Using Form Quizzes:
I have read about other math teachers using Form Quizzes in their classes, and I have been hesitant to do so because I like to see my students' work and award partial credit when necessary. I need to do a little more research on how form quizzes can be used in a math classroom!

# data[].attributes.body
reuse a post:
i would use this to change an assignment from my regents class to my general class. it also is handy when i forget to assign a task to two differnt section of the same course. i wonder how long the 'classrooms will be avaiable, can i reuse a post from previos years?
make anouncmnets: students do struggle with remembering assignments, and this is a good way to map out the week, often studnet walk into class and ask what are we doing, it would be great to let the know via the anouncements.
Delete (archive) I wish I could totally delete a class, seems like i have classes set up with nothing in them? at least i can archive them so they arent visable.

# data[].attributes.body
1. organizing a classwork-Teaching in a fourth grade class, I will definitely use information on organizing a classwork page to keep ELA, social and science organized and make it easier for students to find materials.
2. Forms and quizes-It might be useful to create forms and quizzes for ELA review.  It would give students a chance to work with multiple choice and extended response in a format other than pencil and paper.
Emailing guardians-This could be something besides classdojo to let guardians in on what their students are doing in school.

# data[].attributes.body
Make Announcements- I think that it is critical to get information to students in a timely manner, especially any sort of edit or reminder of an assignment within the classroom. Each of my students typically struggles with remembering assignments, and this takes the guesswork out of the assignment for my kids.
Email Guardian- This would be an amazing tool for keeping guardians up to date on what their student owes within my class. It can be a real challenge to keep parents and guardians engaged with their student's education, and this is another tool that could make that task easier on the parent and on myself.
Add a Student- My administrators often add new students to my class load and for that reason I find that adding a student is an important ability to have in Google Classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Post announcements to your students-I think this is another great way in which you can "communicate" with students without posting assignments. Many students may use this feature, rather than having to check emails for novel information, to stay updated on information relative to the topic/assignment.  This would be a great way in posting specific "shout outs" to students or in suggesting ideas in which the assignment can be linked to their everyday lives/community events.

Archive or Delete a Class-I have used this when I have needed to clear space by deleting classes no longer active but still have access to in order to use/edit, as necessary, for future classes without having to "reinvent the wheel."

Reusing a Post=This goes "hand-in-hand" with the aforementioned feature of "archiving or deleting a class." as it allows to do just that: reuse a post. This can save lots of time as you are able to use past posts in current classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive and delete a class--I think this feature would be very helpful when it is time to review material. It is easy to go back and look at an archived class to revisit what you learned and were able to do on any given topic. I think I could also use this in planning from year to year. ("How did I approach this last year? How did the students respond?")

Post Announcements--I think this feature would be very useful for when there are unexpected changes (snow day, for example). You could post how you want students to proceed with an assignment if things have not gone as planned with your instruction. It allows for flexibility and immediate communication.

Emailing guardians--As a parent, I like to be informed of how my children are doing in school. It is convenient for me to see if work was missed or what is coming up so that I can help my child plan and stay on track.

# data[].attributes.body
Give Feedback on Assignments- I enjoy using Google Classroom for this feature. It allows me to give suggestions and point out mistakes for my students to correct without them needing to complete the assignment from scratch.

Tips for using Forms quizzes with Classroom- I love this feature because it is a good use for exit tickets in math. In my class we are learning about ratios, and it shows me what I still need to teach and it shows me what my students already know.

Adding topics- This is nice because I can organize our work into topics. I have my students complete a journal writing prompt every day, so I have a separate topic just for this. When we do writing as a whole class it is different, so it is nice to be organized.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Using Google forms and Quizzes- I love using forms and quizzes for bell work activities. I give my students a few old regent questions and they are able to get immediate feedback. Also it allows me to see if they understand the lesson from the previous day.

2. Returning Graded work - Students often ask about grades and the return grade feature allows students to see their grade and allows me to return grades quickly and efficiently.

3. Achieving a Class - This feature is very useful because I can look back on previous years and pull assignments from previous years. This is useful because you don't have to start from scratch when building assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Connecting parents or guardians: Extending the classroom home and increasing parent involvement is essential. Bridging the gap between home and school and be done with integrating parents into google classroom and emailing them regarding missing work, class activity and upcoming assignments. Improving communication is key!

2. Posting announcements:
Streamlining information to one spot helps make it efficient and clear for students in google classroom. Announcements provide important information and details for class assignments and class info.

3. Setting up notifications
From the teacher standpoint, you can set up notifications to be sent to your email or phone when certain activity is taking place in your google classroom, Setting notifications for such things as when a student send you a private comment is an option and you can customize these settings to meet your needs as a teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Reuse a post.  Many times I use the same assignments and posts for multiple classes.  Using this feature I can quickly make the same post to multiple classes.
2) Archiving a class.  I use this when a class has ended for the year.  It is nice to be able to go back and view it still the next year when I am teaching the same course again.
3)Email Guardians. Parent contact is a high priority. This is an easy way to stay in contact with many parents without the tedious phone calls. They can get quick updates on assignments and grades.

# data[].attributes.body
Reusing a post has been very helpful and expeditiously.  I love that I can grab a post from any other class, even an old one and reuse it. I also love how one can connect Forms in order to give the kids a quiz and see the results in a "sheet" or table format.

I did not know one could email the parents in addition to the kids! So, in a way, this could allow a teacher to keep communications more centralized than using 21 different sites and/or programs.

# data[].attributes.body
Adding/Inviting Students-Allows me to add all of my students by providing their user id's in a single session. I have already set up all of my intervention students within my classroom.

Posting Announcements-This is a great tool within classroom to be able to disseminate information to the masses. Whether it is a clarification of directions or interesting materials that pertain to the subject matter, this allows for a simple way to reach the entire class all at once.

Grade and Return-This allows for timely feedback and an opportunity for students to reflect on their accomplishments and errors.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Archiving a class- this would be helpful so that I can look back at what I had posted and assigned in previous classes and look for ways to improve upon what I had previously done.
2.) Editing Settings- this was helpful for me because I did not know how to edit the class name for a current class I was using.  I originally had created a class for all of my algebra sections but later decided I wanted to create separate classes for each period.  This helped me to fix my title and class details.
3.) Emailing parents- This seems like a great way to communicate with the parents about missing assignments and upcoming assignments. Because not all of my assignments are currently through my Google classroom site it may be limited somewhat but a great option as I move towards integrating this more in my teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archive or delete a class - I love the idea of being able to archive a class so I can take a look at the types of assignments I was posting in past years (what worked and engaged students & what was not fun/engaging to students). 2. Posting announcements - this feature will be useful to keep students up to date on notices that are important. 3. Giving feedback feature will become my new best friend as I will be able to communicate back to students on their work in a much timelier fashion, allowing for more one on ones to reinforce concepts that a student may be having difficulty with.

# data[].attributes.body
Emailing parents- I find this to be especially usefull as we are in a day and age of technology and we are all very busy as parents.  In being able to track my childs work online will be easier than checking in on their work at the end of the day when I am exhausted.
Notifications- This would be useful when the students are working and all at different paces.  I will know when to look at a students work and get them prompt feedback so they can keep on working.
Feedback- I like this as stated above with the notifications so the students can get prompt feedback and keep going and rework if they need to or I can push them farther if need be.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Adding topics - I would add topics to help organize materials and assignments. I have found that some students have a hard time finding assignments but by indicating a subject/topic, students should be able to find the class more easily.
2. Reusing posts- I could use this if I had an assignment that I found beneficial from a previous year. I would also use it to assign the same assignment to multiple classes.
3. Teacher notifications - I would use this so I would know when to check students work. It would keep me up to date regarding when work is turned in.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Manage Classroom Settings - I think this is an important one because it lays out all of your classroom's set-up options. 2) Emailing guardians - I like this because it keeps parents/guardians in the loop in regard to students' work. 3) Giving feedback - super important for setting/meeting expectations for students and for communication about work.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Invite students - I would use this feature to invite students to a class that I created.
2. Set up notifications - I would use this feature to send notifications to students. This feature can be extremely useful for both me as a teacher as well as students to get notified via mobile device or email about activity for a particular assignment or class.
3. Copy a class - I would use this feature to reuse work that I have previously created. This feature can be useful for creating the same class for different groups of students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archive or Delete a Class - I needed to learn this because I still have a couple of old classes floating around in my G classroom. I'll archive them because even though I'm teaching a different grade this year, I still might want to go back and reuse the old materials at some point.
2 - Google Forms for Quizzes -  I need a quick and easy way to implement formative 2-point rubric written responses. I plan to use the forms so that I don't need to keep track of 50+ student papers. I'm hoping this will be more effecient.
3- Grade and return asssignments - part of my 2nd point above. I need to be able to grade assignments. I'm wondering though - can we export grade directly from Google Classroom to PowerSchool? Or will I need to do the CSV format?

# data[].attributes.body
Organize and collect assignments as well as student work. I could  also post an assignment to multiple classes or modify and reuse assignments from year to year. It also allows students that don’t have a computer at home to access their classroom with a mobile device also, Google Classroom can help you avoid daily trips to the photocopier. 

# data[].attributes.body
1. Teacher Notifications
I can be connected to the class by receiving email or mobile push notifications each time a student sent me a note, submits late work, resubmits work
2. Organize Classroom Page
Organize and collect assignments as well as student work. I could  also post an assignment to multiple classes or modify and reuse assignments from year to year. It also allows students that don’t have a computer at home to access their classroom with a mobile device also, Google Classroom can help you avoid daily trips to the photocopier.

3. Emailing guardians

I will use this to effectively notify parents of everything that is happening with their child .

# data[].attributes.body
1. Organizing Classwork page - I have used this feature as an elementary teacher now that it exists.  Teaching multiple subjects that can all have a technology tie, having the ability to add topics within my classroom has been integral and prevented me from having to have multiple classroom for the same students.
2. Managing Class Settings - I have found this function helpful because I can turn off the ability to "Chat" from my students on posts I make.  When I want students to work together and communicate, I make assignments to do such.
3. Grade and Return an Assignment - By posting rubric and then using the grading featuring and return, my students are able to see their grade immediately AND be able to improve their work if given the time or opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Post announcement would be used to remind students of  deadlines  coming up and assignments  that maybe  scaffolded  as to keep them on track.
2.  Emailing Students/Guardians   As to keep parents aware of class activities projects and open communication of behaviors and such.
3 Feed Back on assignments as mentioned in earlier assignment keeps students on pace encourages dialogue about progess.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Organize Classwork Page - I will be working with another teacher this year, so it will be super helpful for us, as well as the students to stay organized and keep things simplified.
2.  Student Post/Sharing - Once we model what is appropriate sharing, I will enable this feature.  It will be nice for peer conferences and feedback on writing.
3. Using Quizzes - I would like to use this for quick assessments or exit tickets.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Posting announcements: I really like the idea of just posting what the homework is under an announcement, even if it isn't being done via classroom. I can also remind students to work on longer term projects that aren't being graded right away, or prepare for field trips and tests.
2. Emailing guardians: I like the idea of inviting parents and guardian to keep them posted on homework, projects and class activities. This will be especially helpful for my younger students, students who are absent a lot, or students who have a lot of missing work.
3. Forms quizzes: I think this might be an effective method to use for entrance and exit tickets. It is very easy to grade and give feedback. It also may be a good tool to use for a pre test before we start a topic.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Using forms - I have created and participated in forms many times as an undergrad and grad student, but never as a teacher. I think that using Google Forms for progress monitoring, exit tickets, and opportunities for reflection or teacher feedback could provide an efficient and streamlined way to collect information about my students' learning, and my teaching.
2. Emailing parents - I love the idea of keeping caregivers updated on their student's work in a class, specifically in terms of whether they are completing assignments, and if they are successful in their work. In a self-contained class, it is not unusual for parents to show interest in their students' progress across all subject areas, as well as social/emotional growth. Providing caregivers with academic updates via email sounds like a great way to keep caregivers in the loop without making 12 phone calls every afternoon!
3. Organizing classwork page - This was helpful to look at because the visual appearance/organization of the student view was one of the concerns that I had at the beginning of the course. Sometimes, too much visual stimuli can be overwhelming, so I was hoping to find some tips that would help me streamline the appearance of the classwork page, assignments, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Dumazile
1. Organize Classwork Page - I liked this because it creates a visual of what to expect. Thus, helping students prepare their minds mentally. This page will be used to remind students of class activities as learning goes on.
2. Emailing Guardians - As a Sped. teacher there is communication with guardians usually about behavior. The form of communication would not only provide information on assignments given but also monitor the progress of the student.
3.Give Feedback on Assignments -  I will use it as a tool to closely look at what individual students has learned by looking at the class average and individual average.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Copy Class- We are currently developing curriculum for Advisory and this will be very helpful in disseminating materials to all teachers.
2. Student Post and Share Permissions- This will be helpful when guiding students to keep comments helpful and focused. Online platforms can get derailed quickly and students will need someone overseeing the discussions.
3. Grade and Return- This feature will allow for quick grading and return for advisory assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Post Announcement - I like that I am able to go through an agenda with my students at the top of class. It is presented to them visually so they can go back and review what we went through verbally.
2. Using Forms - I LOVE using forms for tests. I have installed an app that automatically grades them and sends the students their scores pretty much instantly.
3. Guardian email - This way parents can see exactly what their students completed. It has been helpful tool over the years.

# data[].attributes.body
#1. I would use the Organize classwork page. This will help students with their organization: help them to manage assignments, documents, etc.
#2. Announcements: This will help students to keep track of when things are due as well as when there are tests, quizzes, field trips, PE, and any classroom reminders.
#3. Grade and Return an assignment: this will help me know when a student has completed an assignment and I can grade the work and return it. This will help me manage my paperwork and stay better organized as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Organize Classwork Page-  Students can struggle being organized. Using topics and organizing student work systematically can be useful for students locating assignments, documents or announcements.
Guardian Email- I use Dojo for behavior management. I love anytime the student, teacher and parent are all on the same page.  Enabling a parent to support academically is a welcomed thought. Not sure how well it would work in practice. Transparency is always great and it promotes parental involvement.
Forms and Quizzes -I've used forms for various surveys but I'd like to try using forms for daily exit tickets to assess student understandings.

# data[].attributes.body
For each of the three topics you explored and tried in your Google Classroom, post how you would use it and why?
1. Copy a class: I can use this tool to help me create different sections for the same topic or subject. For example if I have two groups for 5th grade ELA.
2. Manage Class Settings: I can use this feature to designate if students are able to post on the stream or not. I can also add class materials and display the class code to help students join the class.
3. Adding students: I can use student ID numbers to invite students to join the class instead of displaying the class code.

# data[].attributes.body
For each of the three topics you explored and tried in your Google Classroom, post how you would use it and why?
1. Adding/Inviting students: I set up my class list for Fall 2019 and invited each of my students to Google Classroom by email, using their student ID #'s.
2. Student Comments: Using the stream, I see and can teach my students how to comment on an assignment or post. I also know how to mute and unmute a student, and delete any posts that need be.
3. Grading student assignments: By clicking on the students' assignment, I can use the student grading tool, using the grade, by decimal or whole number up to 100. I need to explore further how to create the spread sheet for my whole class.

# data[].attributes.body
Create a Quiz- I want to be able to create assessments that students can do outside of the classroom.  It isn't feasible for them to do written work very often in my class.  This is a perfect way to assess my teaching and their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The 3 topics I will use in my classroom are: Posting Announcements-I can post assignments and classroom reminders. Emailing Guardians, for a quicker way of communication. Feedback-To provide meaningful feedback to an assignment.

# data[].attributes.body
Class Code:
To make things easier in the being of the school year , I like the fact that he students can add your class with a code.  The only downside is making sure those students that were not in the class that day gets signed in also.  This is such a time saver for teachers of older students.

Guardian Emails:
Lots of parents want to know what their children are learning and what assignments they are to be completing. I like this feature because it give the parents that are involved an easy way to stay connected to the teachers and their child's learning.  It would be a great parent engagement night presentation to get them signed up and add all their child's classes.  Once they get comfortable using hopefully it will be a weekly check in for them.

Giving Feedback on Assignments:
Being able to give individual feedback to the students and letting them give information back helps with clarification of the assignment. Sometimes students are more comfortable typing a question to the teacher than a face to face conversation. This feature helps with that fear and they can get more work completed.

# data[].attributes.body
Post Announcements to your students: I could use this to send reminders to my students about upcoming due assignments, quizzes/tests and I can have it set up so that they get an email about it for further notification.

Feedback: I love this feature so that you can digitally comment and provide feedback to students WHILE they are working on something so that you can constantly be helping them. Also, this allows for students to really be engaged and allows for us to pinpoint specific sections that students need to rework. Such a great feature!

Post and Sharing Permissions: I like this feature because it allows for collaboration. Similar to this sharing board, I can post a question or prompt on the stream page and students can comment their answer and can post on others' posts to comment!

Feedback: The idea that you can type legibly and highlight specific areas of an assignment that need a second look in a timely and effective 1;1 manner.

Reuse a Post: When teaching more than one section of a subject, this is a time saver and extremely helpful organizational tool.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive/Delete Classes:
I will use this feature at the end or beginning of every school year.  Even though you do not see the classes on your current home screen, it is nice to know that if I ever need to go back and reuse something, it is there.
Adding Students:
This past school year, I was having new entrants up through the month of April! Being able to quickly add a student to the Google Classroom saves so much time!
Google Forms + Quizzes:
Although I have not yet used Google Forms/Quizzes, I am really curious about them and would like to begin to incorporate them into my lessons and assessments. Many of my colleagues use them and say how easy it is. My only concern is if the students are taking a quiz using the Google Form format, how am I able to prevent them from opening another tab in Google Chrome and look up the answer?

# data[].attributes.body
The three features I will use the most are:
1. Archive Class - You can still view an archived class and all its materials.
2. Adding Students:  Adding my students is important. Since I have over 200 students I plan to add them during class using the class code. It is quick and efficient.
3. Announcements - efficient way to remind students of assessments and homework.

Using Forms Quizzes & Importing Grades

While I don’t often give out quizzes or tests, I’m excited by the Google Forms/Quizzes features.  This makes it easy to compile information with the grade import function, where I can easily see where misconceptions are/what I need to re-teach without shuffling through massive amounts of paper.  My only concern with using Google Quizzes for quizzes/tests is students’ access to the internet.  I would wonder if some students abused their access…

Give Feedback on Assignments

I’m relieved that there is a comment bank.  With paper evaluations/feedback in the past, I’ve found much of my time being spent on writing very similar comments (pertaining to the learning objective) over and over again, so I feel like the comments bank is going to be a game changer for me!

Organize Classwork Page

I teach literacy, and many of the resources and tools I provide to my students are ones that I use throughout the year.  It’s a relief that Google Classroom can allow me to create topics pages that let me seamlessly organize all of the materials, which I hope will ultimately allow students to increase their use of the materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Setting up Guardian email:
Many of the parents of my students are actively involved in their education. This option will allow me to correspond with them regularly. Providing feedback about their child and notifying them about current of upcoming assessments.

Copy a Class:
Because I have several sections of same class this will be extremely helpful in saving time. I often use the same or similar materials for each class.

Adding Topics to the Classroom Page:
Organization can be a serious struggle to me as I create and plan lessons. Creating topics for assignments will help me to stay organized and find assignments more readily.

# data[].attributes.body
The 3 features I explored were: Copy a Class:
It is very helpful because will help us to have the same material for all the classes/periods.

Posting Announcements:
It will help me to remind the students about due dates of their assignments. The students most of the time forgot that they have an assignment to return in a specific time, so this will help for them to track their assignments, due date and remind them to complete the classwork.

Grade and Return an Assignment:
It is very helpful too because you can give a 1:1 feedback and let the student see what are the mistake (if any) on their classwork, and give them the opportunity to correct them and increase their grade.

Copy a Class
This is helpful when Departmentalizing. Often the classes will have the same assignments so it is easier to be able to copy the assignments from one class to the other and edit as necessary.

Notifcations
I will use this so that I am notified when there is any correspondence from a student instead of having to go in and keep checking.

Forms and Quizzes
This will be useful when I want to do a quick assessment instead of using paper. I am able to give the feedback as well as import the grades if needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I set notifications up so that I know when students are positing, sending private comments and submitting work.

I like then when giving individualized feedback, I can add comments in the margin and directly onto the Google Doc.

Using Form Quizzes will be helpful to assess student learning (do-nows and exit tickets).

# data[].attributes.body
1. Grade and Return an Assignment - The goggle platform is used in my classroom when students are completing lab reports and projects.  It allows for ease of returning completed work when teaching in several classrooms a day and always trying to remember to bring and then hand back graded papers.  By using google classroom I am able to grade anywhere and return the assignment as soon as I am done grading.  Google classroom also makes it easier to keep grades confidential so students who struggle/haven't done well on an assignment feel no pressure from their peers about what they got.  Looking at their grade in google classroom is an individual activity.
2. Feedback on Assignments - The goggle platform is used when students complete lab reports and projects in my class.  It is used because google makes it so easy to leave meaningful and organized feedback for students.  Comments are neat, next to the issue and are immediately actionable.
3. Emailing students - This is used anytime my students have an assignment, like a lab report, assigned to them in google classroom. I use it because it allows me to remind students to complete an assignment if they have forgotten, Also I use it to get in touch with students when they are absent. Some are good about doing work from home/library and see the reminder and do the work.

# data[].attributes.body
The three features in Google Classroom I will use are automatic emailing of guardians...vital to improve on going communication with parents and guardians. I will also use Google forms for quizzes and feedback to students. The third feature I will use is class codes, as this will make it easier for my students to access and use the technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Manage class settings-

I'd use the view as a student option in settings for my "resource students" so that i would be to access what they need to have done for their classes and assist in their studying and best use of class time.

Set up guardian email summaries

I also like the add the parent email in settings because so often parents too want to support and check up on student progress.  I email parents when tests or large projects are approaching as well.

Adding Feedback
Love the new feature of "comment banks" and I can edit and make my own token "flavorful" comments for all of my classes.
I intend to use science specific - like cite your evidence, don't forget units, etc... in my comment bank this fall.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Post Announcements
I think I can use this to post the daily agenda so students who are out will know what we did and I can also remind them of upcoming tests and deadlines.

2. Class Codes
In the past I have been entering my students to my classes but with students being added to classes throughout the year it is helpful to just give them the class code so they can join.

3. E-mailing guardians
Yet another way to keep the parents informed and to improve communication.

4. Archiving Classes
I had all of my classes for the past few years on my page but I was afraid to delete them. I did a little housekeeping and they are now archived if there is any reason I want to get back to them.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Post Announcements - This feature allows me to pose questions for students to consider as they are reading or working on different assignments.  If it was an essay, then each day I could pose a question that centers on each area of the rubric and how it connects the students' goals.  This way students can begin their daily work reflecting on the posed question and assessing their own work.
2.  Set student post & sharing permissions - This is a great feature when using cooperative groupings.  It can allow students to act a peer editors.  It is tricky, you need to be careful about setting the various permissions and setting up the assignments.
3.  Give feedback on assignments - This is a great tool for allowing the teacher to effectively provide constructive feedback on a writing assignment (goal-oriented, tangible, actionable, timely, ongoing...).  This allows the students to again assess their own work, edit, and revise before turning in.

# data[].attributes.body
three features in Google Classroom and why?
1.  Using Forms Quiz  --  this was a new concept for me, but it seems like a great way to individualize and administer quick assessments, all on-line, even if a student is not present in the classroom that day.
2. Importing grades from Forms to Google Classroom -- again, a time saver, which makes grade turn-around time much faster and easier.
3. E-mailing parents/guardians, to improve home-school communication.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Emailing Guardians - I liked this feature as a means of keeping guardians in the loop as a student's progress goes. It yet another way to keep lines of communication between guardians and school open.
2.  Using Forms Quizzes - I noticed how easy this feature made assessing students and how fluidly grades transferred from one platform to the next. This peaked my interested as I'm wanting to improve my grading efficiency.
3. Grading and Returning Assignments - I liked that I can do everything that I would normally do with the physical copy of an assignment with the digital copy: grade, return, grade again and view an assignments grading history. Way cool!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Give feedback on assignment: As we saw in the previous assignment, giving feedback to students is very easy and efficient on Google. We can quickly give students feedback even before they are finished with an assignment, so they feel supported throughout and then can get targeted feedback at the end to move them closer to their goal.
2. Email guardians: I am always looking to increase parent communication and allow parents as much access as possible to their students' progress and performance. With Google Classroom, I can email parents about missing or upcoming work, or any other class activity that is important, which just provides another means of communication to allow parents access to our classroom.
3. Using Form quizzes: I used Google Forms all last year to assess my students and found it to be a great resource. I can quickly assess students and then see whole class results, and then break it down by individual student to see where misconceptions are happening. These also provide another means of providing feedback to students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Organizing class work:  Creating topics within a classroom helps keep your assignments organized as well as makes it easier for students to find assignments.  One way I used topics for was reading levels.  Students read a short story from a specific level and then answer questions in a Google Classroom.
2.  Using Google Form quizzes:  I have used google forms as quizzes or multiple choice tests.  What I didn't realize was that there was like a template already made to make making a quiz easier.  So this was exciting to me! I also love that forms creates a spread sheet for me with students' answers and scores and even has graphs of each question and the % of students who got it correct.
3. Inviting guardians: More and more I am trying to get parents involved in my classroom. One ways is keeping them informed of their child's work and grades. I think if I am able to share assignments and grades with them, that will help parent involvement in the school/classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Archive:  I've been using Google Classroom for over 6 years, Archiving is key as who wants to recreate things 'work-smarter-not-harder', it also provides you with a bit of CYA, or the clean version CYB (cover your butt).
Grade Return:  I love that many other programs link up to google classroom, one I use tons is EdPuzzle.  That syncs up with google so that assignments and grades are shared when you want them.  Great and students love getting to know how they did.
Giving Feedback: Especially great way to give information when it is an assignment they have opportunity to correct. Kids love the 1:1 they get this way, they are a digital culture and find that this gives them individual time with you.

# data[].attributes.body
1). Adding students: As an Intervention teacher this will be helpful for me to add students from different classes into one area.
2). Give feedback: This is super helpful in providing immediate response to students so they know how to proceed. In intervention groups we can work on addressing those feedback comments.
3). Archiving a class: This will be a helpful tool for me as it helps with organizing current work and archiving the older posts to retrieve it at another time. There will be no need to recreate assignments over and over since it is there for you to refer to! Nice

# data[].attributes.body
1. Adding students-I always use this in the beginning of the year to add my new caseload of students to the google classroom.
2. Adding/Removing Classwork- I use this to create assignments or remove if I've made a mistake.
3. Emailing guardians- this is a nice way to connect with parents about their student's work on assignments or in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I like Post Announcements bc/it can keep students up to date with basic information that they may have missed without having to repeat yourself multiple times or handing out papers multiple times.
2. I like that you can grade and return an assignment while also providing valuable feedback to help your students revise/edit their work. It is convenient without having to cart a bunch of papers back and forth from school to home and back again. This increases time on task and allows for better organization.
3. Being able to email parents/guardians is an important feature so that they are involved in what is being taught in school so they can feel part of the learning community.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Post Announcements: I would use this as a reminder for students about any work that is due or for upcoming assignments. 2. Emailing Guardians: I would use this to contact home about any issues that may arise such as missing assignments. I would also use this for commendation contact such as great work on an assignment.
3. Copy a Class: I would use this to reuse material created for future lessons. It is such a huge time saver!

New to Google classroom and not feeling very comfortable. I do like the idea of submitting an assignment and allowing students to work on it at their own pace. Adding and deleting students is useful and allowing guardians to see their work.
