Free web-based platform for online classes

Google Classroom makes teaching a more productive and meaningful experience for teachers and students. This teaching and training platform streamlines assignments, boosts collaboration, and fosters communication for large groups. It does this by allowing you to hold classes, distribute projects, and provide feedback-all within the platform. Google users can also integrate their Google Docs and Google Drive accounts into its system to store their files in a cloud.

What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom stands out from other learning management systems or student information platforms as it combines all G Suites tools in an intuitive interface for its users. Teachers can benefit from this software as it allows them to monitor their students and organize their output. As a teacher, you can do this in the platform's two notable sections: Students and Stream.

The Students section helps you to connect with your students. You can choose to either manually enter each of their Google email addresses or the students can join the class with a Google email. Should you do the latter, it is important to provide them with the class code. The Stream section allows you to post assignments, announcements, and questions for your students.

You'll spend most of your time here once all your students have entered the group. Its most notable capability is creating homework and projects. Each post can include the assignment's topic, instructions, and due date. The unique Google Classroom code is located on the left side of the group's page.

How do you enter Google Classroom?

Students must type this in code so they can enter the group. By default, teachers are the only members of the group who can post in the group. To change this, head to the Student section to allow students to comment, post questions, and send assignments.

The program will take note of the date and make sure to accept all the assignments. Students that turn in assignments late will be automatically marked as overdue. You can also attach files to the assignments you create. For example, you can attach a link that redirects to a news article. This can serve as a writing assignment for your students.

Files can be sourced from your hard drive, Google Drive, YouTube, and other links related to education and reference. Students can attach their work on the post as a Google Doc or as a DOCX file. You can open them directly in the Classroom and grade them every time your device is connected to the internet.

Simple and practical tool for teachers

Google Classroom is an agile way of conducting classes for teachers and students. As a teacher, you can see which students are actively participating in the class and provide direct real-time feedback to each pupil. In addition, you're able to use your time more productively, as students are able to submit their work electronically. Along with your students, you can explore the G Suite tools and how those can apply to your class.

Edmodo, also known as "Facebook for school," is the premier social media and learning platform for teachers and students alike.

Founded in 2008, the site has since gained over 20 million users. The K-12 social media network continues to grow and is now available in six languages, including Spanish, German and Greek.

The platform's app equivalent brings portability into the equation, which means educators, students and even parents can always access Edmodo when they need it.

With Edmodo, teachers can truly bring the classroom online. With the ability to give assignments, quizzes and polls to students, Edmodo users can manage their classes and consolidate all of their activities in one place.

Users also have unlimited options in terms of sharing digital content. Teachers can embed instructional videos, create learning groups for students, and manage calendar events.

Communities allow teachers to browse subjects in order to find and share information within a broad stream of content and conversations related to that topic.

The platform offers numerous organizational features for teachers, even offering an option for users to print out rosters for substitutes. Badges are another fun feature, allowing educators to monitor the progress of student groups and issue awards for their achievements.

Enterprising educators can even use Edmodo to connect with other classrooms around the globe. Whether they're studying a foreign language, history, economics or another subject, partnering with a class online can be both socially engaging and culturally rewarding for students.

How Administrators Can Use It

Edmodo is just as great for district administrators and principals. They can use the platform to coordinate and collaborate with leadership teams. They also can give feedback to-and receive it from-other educators.

Planning professional development seminars can be a breeze, especially with SchoolTube, Edmodo's video service.

Students also stand to benefit from the platform. They can access extra help from peers, instructors or SchoolTube. They're also able to turn in work for teacher review and get instant feedback, including teacher annotations. Beyond being able to join groups for clubs, sports and other activities, students (especially younger ones) can learn how to interact safely and appropriately online.

And Don't Forget Parents

On Edmodo, even the 'rents get in on the action. Parents get the option to log in either as their children or themselves. They can review the child's work, grades and more. They also can receive updates from their child's teachers regarding missed assignments and school happenings. Most importantly, Edmodo helps educate parents about the digital literacy skills that all 21st-century students need.

Now, with even a photo editing software function included, Edmodo is truly a Web 2.0 "Swiss Army knife" for educators and other stakeholders in K-12 education.
