3. Saving as a draft would be great to use to plan ahead or store your emergency lesson plans for those unexpected life situations.

1. Archive Classes- I archive all of my classes at the end of the school year and then sometimes I Restore them so that I can reuse assignemnts from them.
2. Reuse Assignemnts-When I co-teach a class or teach the same prep with a teacher, we create a googleclassroom for both of us to use.  THen I create a seperate class for my students.  I Re-Use assignments from the teacher classroom to pist on my student classroom.
3. Assigning Individual Assignments-In my AP class I sometimes have underclassmen who are "auditing the class." I will often create seperate assignments for them that the rest of the class cannot see so that their work is differentiated and more grade appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would use the Assign Posts to Specific Students to differentiate my lesson which is especially important in math.  This will be easier to do once I build several different assignments on a given topic.
2. I would use Saving Posts as a Draft when I am trying to get ahead and develop future lessons.  I can save my work as a draft and continue working on it as I see how my class is progressing and what things I need to focus on or amend.
3. I can see where Using Posts in Multiple Classrooms will be very beneficial in math when I have two or more groups covering the same topic....whether it is the same course or not.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assign Posts to Specific Students- I would use this as a check-in to make sure that the specific students has grasped the concept which I noticed they were struggling with.

2. Posting a Question- I would use this as an exit ticket based on the learning target that we focused on.

3. Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream- This would help me organize the posts in my stream.

# data[].attributes.body
Using Google Classroom as a Primary Teacher by Archiving an Old Class, Assigning a Post, & Saving Posts as Drafts:

For starters, I will archive my old class. I am no longer teaching first grade. I can refer back to the class if I need any information from it. Many of my students are on different levels. I am in the process of creating many assignments. I will save these assignments as drafts. This will be a convenient way to differentiate instruction. When a certain student is ready for the assignment, I can go into the draft and assign it at that time. I can also differentiate my instructional posts by only selecting certain students to complete an assign at a particular time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use assigning to specific students for differentiation.

Saving a draft would allow me to create multiple postings at once and then post them as they become necessary for students to complete and due dates.

Creating topics, will help when some topics are weighted differently based on expectations. Individual vs. Group

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I'm gong to use archive and and recover old classes to save a all the hard work I put into the class.  I'd also use the recover feature to reuse a class the next time I have to teach it.  Instead of reinventing the wheel.
2.  I will use post for multiple classrooms just a very efficient way of communicating with all the students in my classes in a timely manner.
3. I will use creating topics and organizing by topics to keep all my post organized and easy to find when I need them.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would use "assign to individual students" to differentiate my assignments for my students. I have different reading groups in my class, so this will be helpful when assigning work.
2. I would use "assign a question" when I want my students to be prepared for a classroom discussion after we are done reading.
3. I would use "create a topic" to help me stay organized. I have four different reading groups that I will have to assign separate work to.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I have used and will continue to archive classes I no longer teach.  I've actually reopened a class I archived in order to share it with another teacher who had never taught the course.  They were able to use many of my lessons.

2) I would move a post to the top of the thread if I had assigned a bunch of work for students, but for some reason, they needed a reminder of where there project was in the thread.

3) I like the idea of adding topics to the assignments. I have not done this and I don't often search for assignments, since they are all in my google drive, but I like that it organizes the assignments on the left hand side of the classroom feed.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I often wondered if I could assign just a few students different assignments if they were absent or if they needed additional assistance or even to differentiate an assignment.
2. I love the topics to stay organized and allow for a flow of material  that is understandable by me as well as the students.
3. I like that I can assign an assignment to all classes, it is a huge time saver and would make it much easier in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would use "archive & recover a class"  after the year is over and if I needed to look back at an assignment from the previous year.
2. I would use "assign posts to specific students" to differentiate and give different assignments to different groups of students in the class.
3. I would use "using posts in multiple classes" to give the same assignment to multiple classes at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would use "using posts in multiple classes" to assign the same assignment to more than one class at a time.
2. I would use "archive classes" to store classes at the end of the school year.
3. I would use "assign post to specific students" to assign native Spanish speakers and non native Spanish speakers different work.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I would use Archive/Recover an old class because I am an intervention/prevention teacher so I have a lot of different grades and groups. This will help me stay organized and also help me easily look back to what I was working on the year before.
2. I would use assign to specific students frequently. Within my intervention groups we do a lot of group work. This will help students be able to collaborate and work together on their assignment.
3. The assign posts to multiple classrooms would be very helpful. Some of my groups complete the same assignments so instead of me having to recreate the assignment, I can just utilize this feature.

# data[].attributes.body
I watched the video on moving posts to the top, posting to multiple classes, and creating topics for posts. I find these useful for many reasons. I would use moving posts to the top so that I could keep the most important posts that students use most at the top. An example of this is when I post Prodigy math game so students can access it easily. Posting to multiple classes is helpful because many of my classes do the same thing it it helps with time. I really liked learning about the topics. This will be extremely useful as I plan to put all homework, cw, tests, quizzes, weeklies, etc on my classroom so students can access them easily. If they are in a topic then it will be so much easier for students to find what they need each marking period.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use posting a question for my students to determine student pre-knlowedge of a particular topic.

I will use google docs to provide instant and meaningful feedback for my students.

I will be able to post assignments and keep track of those assignments much more effectively. In the future, it will be much easier to look at previous classes and compare that data in order to plan for current classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use Assign Posts to Specific Students to create work groups for  some of the poster projects we do in Earth Science.
I would use moving a post to the top in my family group GC so move a survey or project that some students need to complete back to the top of their view.
I would use Creating and Organizing by Topics to section out the geometry curriculum to help keep me organized on our progress toward the standards.

# data[].attributes.body
I would Reuse a Post to duplicate a weekly assignment and check in with students each week.

I would Create and Organize class by topic to make searching easier and to help guide students to which task they are to work on.

I would Post a Question to use as a quick right or a morning task as well as an informal assessment throughout the day. The students would have specific due dates but would be able to resubmit or work on the answer throughout the day if needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use the following 3 Google Classroom topics:
1. Assign Posts to Specific Students - I would differentiate my assignments based on my ELLs' proficiency levels, learning styles, and interests.
2. Posting a Question - I would utilize this tool as a formative assessment after the Do Now, during the lesson to check for understanding, and as a an Exit Ticket.
3. Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic - I would use this feature to keep assignments organized for later reference.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use -
1. Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic - to allow my Pre-k students and their parents to watch the videos that will help to reinforce the literacy, math and science concepts that are being worked on in our classroom.
2. Moving Posts to Top of Stream to organize posts in order of importance on a particular day.
3. Assigning Posts to Specific Students  - so that parents can work with their students on particular concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
I would use Assign to Specific Student to differentiate my assignments according to student needs and levels. I could use the groupings I make for reading, writing, math, etc to assign.
I would use Post a Question  as a thought provoking bell work or a quick write for my students. I could add a video for them to watch and ask a question about their opinion or about the video.
I would use Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic to help me and my students stay organized. I could save drafts of assignments according to topic and more easily find them when it is time to assign and also my students would know the expectations, structure, and point value of assignments according to their topic.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Topics
Are the "topics" a new feature because I am so weirdly excited about it! One of my little pet peeves with google classroom is the lack of organization with the stream. I will use this all the time now.
2. Assigning Post to Specific Students.
I love this feature. I use it ALL the time being a CT teacher in the class. I can assign my kids the the modified version and no ones knows. I can also add extra resources for for them without everyone knowing. It's great! By far my favorite feature.
3. Posting a question.
You can use this is so many ways. Checks for understanding or just to build engagement outside of class hours. You can use it as a warm up or ticket out the door. You can use it to see what prior knowledge they have. You can post a video before class so they are walking in with some prior knowledge. The possibilities are endless.

# data[].attributes.body
As a Kindergarten teacher I would use google classroom as a way to share info with my teaching partners. I would use creating topics and organizing topics to share videos and templates that each teacher could with their small group in a way that works for them.

I would use archive a classroom to clean up my current page. I would use restore if I needed to assess old lesson plans that I turned into my admin via a google classroom.

I would use moving posts to top of stream to organize info based on need.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assigning Post to specific students.
This is the perfect way to individualize instruction. There are  always limits on how much differentiation one can do but this makes it more manageable.
2. Posting a question.
since I teach US. History, this is the perfect tool for open ended short answer questions and bell work in which students can reply to each other.
3. Creating Topic and organizing by topic.
This is probably on of the most important tools to keep students organized. It will also allow them to see an outline of each unit

1. I would use Archived and Recover to save documents I wouldn't really want to delete.
2. I would also use Repost if I had something that I wanted to continually share.
3. I would also use Assigning Post to Different Students if I had different students at different levels of reading or whatever subject I would be teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Assigning Posts to Different Students

-I would uses this feature in google classroom when I want to differentiate the assignments, as well as assigning partner our group assignments. This would make feedback easier and all students in the group have access.

2  .Archive and Old Class

I would use this feature when I want to keep an old class to use some of the material for a new class. This could also be archived in order to see what changes need to be made for the next class.

3. Reuse Post

I would use this feature if I had a recurring assignment such as a daily reflection, or a homework assignment. It will be easier to reuse the original and update any new information.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Archive an old class.  I would use this to get past data or even to see what a previous teaching colleague used to help student learning.
2. Assign posts to specific students.  I would use this to help students who might have been absent for a day or students who did not grasp a prior concept or standard. By using this, students can keep practicing a specific skill.
3. Posting a question. This would be great for morning bell work after students are finished eating and then gathering their Chromebook to start the day!

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I would use post a question to help manage my exit ticket responses.  It will help me easily see who understood the lesson and who still needs more time with the topic and I wouldn't have to carry around any more half sheets of looseleaf paper in order to provide feedback!
2.  I would use assign to specific students to help differentiate my lessons and scaffold instruction so that more students are able to meet my learning targets or even extend their thinking if they need to be challenged.
3. I would use create topics to help keep me more organized by unit and being able to post things at a future date would even help with my long-range unit planning that is always being stressed at my school.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll use the archive to save the class content from last year, but still have it to access assignments later if i want to see what i assigned for a particular topic.

I love that you can assign to specific students.  It will help me to differentiate assignments for my students.  it will also be helpful with jigsaws as only certain students will need to explore each topic.

Reusing a post is great because i can have an assignment on a certain topic for all my 7th grade classes. By reusing the post i can add or subtract part of a task if a class is behind or ahead of the others.

I like how questions can give kids an online space to share what they know- especially the babblers, scholars, and ranters. As long as they are civil I dont have to restrict their air time. I used the online questions for this with an honors group before and it gave kids a platform that needed it.

1. I would use the Assign Posts to Specific Students to differentiate my lesson which is especially important in math.  This will be easier to do once I build several different assignments on a given topic.
2. I would use Saving Posts as a Draft when I am trying to get ahead and develop future lessons.  I can save my work as a draft and continue working on it as I see how my class is progressing and what things I need to focus on or amend.
3.  I can see where Using Posts in Multiple Classrooms will be very beneficial in math when I have two or more groups covering the same topic....whether it is the same course or not.

1. Assign Posts to Specific Students- I would use this as a check-in to make sure that the specific students has grasped the concept which I noticed they were struggling with. 

2. Posting a Question- I would use this as an exit ticket based on the learning target that we focused on. 

3. Moving Posts to the Top of the Stream- This would help me organize the posts in my stream.

Using Google Classroom as a Primary Teacher by Archiving an Old Class, Assigning a Post, & Saving Posts as Drafts:

For starters, I will archive my old class. I am no longer teaching first grade. I can refer back to the class if I need any information from it. Many of my students are on different levels. I am in the process of creating many assignments. I will save these assignments as drafts. This will be a convenient way to differentiate instruction. When a certain student is ready for the assignment, I can go into the draft and assign it at that time. I can also differentiate my instructional posts by only selecting certain students to complete an assign at a particular time.

I would use assigning to specific students for differentiation. 

Saving a draft would allow me to create multiple postings at once and then post them as they become necessary for students to complete and due dates.

Creating topics, will help when some topics are weighted differently based on expectations. Individual vs. Group

I like the idea of pre-writing and prepping the assignments then assigning them when they are due.

1.  I'm gong to use archive and and recover old classes to save a all the hard work I put into the class.  I'd also use the recover feature to reuse a class the next time I have to teach it.  Instead of reinventing the wheel.
2.  I will use post for multiple classrooms just a very efficient way of communicating with all the students in my classes in a timely manner.
3. I will use creating topics and organizing by topics to keep all my post organized and easy to find when I need them.

1. I would use "assign to individual students" to differentiate my assignments for my students. I have different reading groups in my class, so this will be helpful when assigning work.
2. I would use "assign a question" when I want my students to be prepared for a classroom discussion after we are done reading.
3. I would use "create a topic" to help me stay organized. I have four different reading groups that I will have to assign separate work to.

1) I have used and will continue to archive classes I no longer teach.  I've actually reopened a class I archived in order to share it with another teacher who had never taught the course.  They were able to use many of my lessons.

2) I would move a post to the top of the thread if I had assigned a bunch of work for students, but for some reason, they needed a reminder of where there project was in the thread.

3) I like the idea of adding topics to the assignments.  I have not done this and I don't often search for assignments, since they are all in my google drive, but I like that it organizes the assignments on the left hand side of the classroom feed.

These were helpful because:
1.  I often wondered if I could assign just a few students different assignments if they were absent or if they needed additional assistance or even to differentiate an assignment. 
2. I love the topics to stay organized and allow for a flow of material  that is understandable by me as well as the students. 
3. I like that I can assign an assignment to all classes, it is a huge time saver and would make it much easier in the future.

1. I would use "archive & recover a class"  after the year is over and if I needed to look back at an assignment from the previous year.
2. I would use "assign posts to specific students" to differentiate and give different assignments to different groups of students in the class.
3. I would use "using posts in multiple classes" to give the same assignment to multiple classes at the same time.

1. I would use "using posts in multiple classes" to assign the same assignment to more than one class at a time.
2. I would use "archive classes" to store classes at the end of the school year.
3. I would use "assign post to specific students" to assign native Spanish speakers and non native Spanish speakers different work.

1. I would use Archive/Recover an old class because I am an intervention/prevention teacher so I have a lot of different grades and groups. This will help me stay organized and also help me easily look back to what I was working on the year before.
2. I would use assign to specific students frequently. Within my intervention groups we do a lot of group work. This will help students be able to collaborate and work together on their assignment.
3. The assign posts to multiple classrooms would be very helpful. Some of my groups complete the same assignments so instead of me having to recreate the assignment, I can just utilize this feature.

I watched the video on moving posts to the top, posting to multiple classes, and creating topics for posts. I find these useful for many reasons. I would use moving posts to the top so that I could keep the most important posts that students use most at the top. An example of this is when I post Prodigy math game so students can access it easily. Posting to multiple classes is helpful because many of my classes do the same thing it it helps with time. I really liked learning about the topics. This will be extremely useful as I plan to put all homework, cw, tests, quizzes, weeklies, etc on my classroom so students can access them easily. If they are in a topic then it will be so much easier for students to find what they need each marking period.

I would use posting a question for my students to determine student pre-knlowedge of a particular topic.

I will use google docs to provide instant and meaningful feedback for my students.

I will be able to post assignments and keep track of those assignments much more effectively. In the future, it will be much easier to look at previous classes and compare that data in order to plan for current classes.

Using Post a question to see what your students know about a topic is a great way to know where your students are.

I would use Assign Posts to Specific Students to create work groups for  some of the poster projects we do in Earth Science. 
I would use moving a post to the top in my family group GC so move a survey or project that some students need to complete back to the top of their view. 
I would use Creating and Organizing by Topics to section out the geometry curriculum to help keep me organized on our progress toward the standards.

I would Reuse a Post to duplicate a weekly assignment and check in with students each week. 

I would Create and Organize class by topic to make searching easier and to help guide students to which task they are to work on. 

I would Post a Question to use as a quick right or a morning task as well as an informal assessment throughout the day. The students would have specific due dates but would be able to resubmit or work on the answer throughout the day if needed.

I would use the following 3 Google Classroom topics:
1. Assign Posts to Specific Students - I would differentiate my assignments based on my ELLs' proficiency levels, learning styles, and interests.
2. Posting a Question - I would utilize this tool as a formative assessment after the Do Now, during the lesson to check for understanding, and as a an Exit Ticket.
3. Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic - I would use this feature to keep assignments organized for later reference.

I would use - 
1. Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic - to allow my Pre-k students and their parents to watch the videos that will help to reinforce the literacy, math and science concepts that are being worked on in our classroom.
2. Moving Posts to Top of Stream to organize posts in order of importance on a particular day.
3. Assigning Posts to Specific Students  - so that parents can work with their students on particular concepts.

I would use Assign to Specific Student to differentiate my assignments according to student needs and levels. I could use the groupings I make for reading, writing, math, etc to assign.
I would use Post a Question  as a thought provoking bell work or a quick write for my students. I could add a video for them to watch and ask a question about their opinion or about the video. 
I would use Creating Topics and Organizing by Topic to help me and my students stay organized. I could save drafts of assignments according to topic and more easily find them when it is time to assign and also my students would know the expectations, structure, and point value of assignments according to their topic.

1. Topics
Are the "topics" a new feature because I am so weirdly excited about it! One of my little pet peeves with google classroom is the lack of organization with the stream. I will use this all the time now. 
2. Assigning Post to Specific Students.
I love this feature. I use it ALL the time being a CT teacher in the class. I can assign my kids the the modified version and no ones knows. I can also add extra resources for for them without everyone knowing. It's great! By far my favorite feature. 
3. Posting a question. 
You can use this is so many ways. Checks for understanding or just to build engagement outside of class hours. You can use it as a warm up or ticket out the door. You can use it to see what prior knowledge they have. You can post a video before class so they are walking in with some prior knowledge. The possibilities are endless.

As a Kindergarten teacher I would use google classroom as a way to share info with my teaching partners. I would use creating topics and organizing topics to share videos and templates that each teacher could with their small group in a way that works for them.

I would use archive a classroom to clean up my current page. I would use restore if I needed to assess old lesson plans that I turned into my admin via a google classroom. 

I would use moving posts to top of stream to organize info based on need.

1. Assigning Post to specific students.
This is the perfect way to individualize instruction. There are  always limits on how much differentiation one can do but this makes it more manageable.
2. Posting a question.
since I teach US. History, this is the perfect tool for open ended short answer questions and bell work in which students can reply to each other.
3. Creating Topic and organizing by topic.
This is probably on of the most important tools to keep students organized. It will also allow them to see an outline of each unit

For each of the three topics you watched and tried in your Google Classroom, post how you would use it and why?Assign Posts to Specific Students: I would use it when I want to differentiate a lesson- Sometimes I want to assign a more difficult version of an assignment to my Spanish-Speaking students than what I assign to the non-Spanish Speaking Students: this way they would be using their knowledge in writing an essay, for example, vs. writing individual sentences.Saving Posts as a Draft and Assigning Draft Post: Saving an assignment as a draft would be helpful because sometimes, when preparing an assignment, I want to make sure that all of the parts are included before assigning that assignment.Archive an Old Class and Recover an Archived Class: The Dashboard with the windows with classes are too busy with all of the old classes crowding it. It is nice to be able to archive old classes so that only the current classes are available on the Dashboard. You can access them if necessary in the future to look up info, etc.

1. I would use Archived and Recover to save documents I wouldn't really want to delete.
2. I would also use Repost if I had something that I wanted to continually share.
3. I would also use Assigning Post to Different Students if I had different students at different levels of reading or whatever subject I would be teaching.

Assigning Posts to Different Students
-I would uses this feature in google classroom when I want to differentiate the assignments, as well as assigning partner our group assignments. This would make feedback easier and all students in the group have access.
      2  .Archive and Old Class
I would use this feature when I want to keep an old class to use some of the material for a new class. This could also be archived in order to see what changes need to be made for the next class.
      3. Reuse Post
I would use this feature if I had a recurring assignment such as a daily reflection, or a homework assignment. It will be easier to reuse the original and update any new information.

1. Archive an old class.  I would use this to get past data or even to see what a previous teaching colleague used to help student learning.
2. Assign posts to specific students.  I would use this to help students who might have been absent for a day or students who did not grasp a prior concept or standard. By using this, students can keep practicing a specific skill.
3. Posting a question.  This would be great for morning bell work after students are finished eating and then gathering their Chromebook to start the day!

1.  I would use post a question to help manage my exit ticket responses.  It will help me easily see who understood the lesson and who still needs more time with the topic and I wouldn't have to carry around any more half sheets of looseleaf paper in order to provide feedback!
2.  I would use assign to specific students to help differentiate my lessons and scaffold instruction so that more students are able to meet my learning targets or even extend their thinking if they need to be challenged.
3. I would use create topics to help keep me more organized by unit and being able to post things at a future date would even help with my long-range unit planning that is always being stressed at my school.

I'll use the archive to save the class content from last year, but still have it to access assignments later if i want to see what i assigned for a particular topic.

I love that you can assign to specific students.  It will help me to differentiate assignments for my students.  it will also be helpful with jigsaws as only certain students will need to explore each topic.  

Reusing a post is great because i can have an assignment on a certain topic for all my 7th grade classes.  By reusing the post i can add or subtract part of a task if a class is behind or ahead of the others.

I would use posting a question because it would help my k kids to focus on the target for the lesson.

I would use saving a draft because it could help me come up with a series of tasks/assignments which I can save and use/publish at a later day.

And can also assigned assignments because in that way a particular group of students can work on same topic or level

# data[].attributes.body
Schedule/Save Draft - This will enable me to plan out entire units at once when I have the time, and then publish each post the night before I plan to use it. It will also give me something to glance at when students inevitably ask, "What are we doing next class? And the class after that? And the one after that?"

Using Posts in Multiple Classes - This will save me a ton of time, as I will only have to create the post once, and then I can share it with as many classes as I need.

Creating Topics/Organizing by Topic - One of my favorite aspects of digitizing my curriculum is how easy it makes it to reuse resources in the future. Topics will allow me to search my existing resources more easily, and hopefully streamline future unit planning. Of course, I still have to accurately tag the topics, which I could see myself eventually slacking on.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Assigning specific students:
This will work really well in special education classes when students work at different paces.  Each student can get exactly the amount of work needed for the assignment.
2.  Posting a question:
I like the idea of posting questions for students to answer when you  want something simple accomplished or easy feedback on something you don't have time in class to discuss.
3.  Organizing topics will be great to keep myself organized and to reuse the assignments when students are absent. It will be easy to access them.

I'm not real sure I will be using this Google Classroom for my second graders but I do see me using it to build a relationship with my co-workers. I would set up a classroom and invite colleagues who were interested in joining a conversation.
Posting a Question: I would post questions to get insight how to teach a certain skill or strategy that I might know how to do.
Assign to individual students: This I would use for differentiation for some students that are ready to use Google Classroom but are still on different learning levels.
PBJ: Love this video! It gave me a real sight for how to deliver my instructions especially to my second graders. I would use the video also for my students to watch for several reasons: how to write clear directions and how to edit their work.
