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

I would use Move Post to the Top to help organize my stream]]> 2018-11-28 16:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/308892520 Samuel https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309125197 I would use archived class for past assignments that may be useful in current class

I would use guardian email as a tool to allow parents to see what their child is working on in class.

I would use give feedback on assignment to establish a positive dialogue on student work.]]> 2018-11-29 03:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309125197 Anthony https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309207395 I would like to use the edit feature for the students to do collaborative work or assignment

I would use the feedback feature to give immediate feedback as they work and in turned in assignments.

I would use the save as draft feature to record ideas for future assignments that current assignments are building skills and ideas toward.]]> 2018-11-29 10:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309207395 Thomas https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309222605 When I get my set of computers I will use the following three features right away. 

I would add students once I have created a classroom in Google. This would make sense as the very first step.

I would make sure all of my settings for notifications is up to date so my students will be able to be contacted of any new topics and assignments. 

Then, as I go along with my class, I will make sure to organize and arrange my topics in the most current order to help students be organized and not miss an assignment.]]> 2018-11-29 11:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309222605 Raechel rmcumber https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309263147 I would use organizing classwork page to group assignments/work by topic or unit to allow students more organization and ease of access. 

I would use emailing guardians to keep in touch with parents about a students progress in class, as phone numbers are not always an option.

I would use grading and returning an assignment to provide direct feedback on student work without having to print paper copies and hand-write feedback.]]> 2018-11-29 13:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309263147 Jacob Solt - Useful Google classroom features https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/309625932 I plan to use the notification settings to alert me to address new events, such as student re-submissions, or new student comments. By adjusting the notifications settings, I can be notified of important developments within Google classroom.  Parents can also use the notification settings to be notified of student grades.

I plan to use the "Post Announcement" feature to alert students to important information or important prompts for action. I could use such an announcement to inform students of upcoming due date, upcoming assessments, instructions for when I might be sick, or other important news.

I plan to use the Google forms feature to attach quizzes to assignments

I've not yet used guardian email summaries but I'm glad to have read about them. It is unfortunate that parents need a G Suite email, but it's great to know that there is an easy feature that will share missing work, upcoming and class activities with parents and guardians.

I have not yet tried using Forms quizzes with Classroom but it sounds like it's easy to customize quizzes then import the grades to classroom. Then we can see student answers at a glance and return grades to students for quick feedback on their performance.

The feedback is important because the students can check it after hours, whereas their composition books are limited access and only available in class.  I can attach a file and then provide feedback once students finish and submit for review.

Grade and Return Assignments: Students will be able to see grades immediately upon release as  opposed to waiting until the next class date. I would use this to provide feedback in a more timely manor.

Post announcements to your students: I will post announcements and general expectations for each assignment. This will keep students up-to-date and informed. 

About guardian email summaries: This will help parents to be informed about assignments and student progress. I will also use this to inform parents about upcoming assignments.

I am always looking to develop positive relationships with not only my students but their Parent/Guardians also.  By utilizing this feature in Google classroom along with collaborating with our Leadership Team & other teachers, I can work more closely with Parents/Guardians in regards to the success of their child/children.

Topic #2:  Setting Notifications

The development of technology has allowed for constant feedback and information to flow regularly without gaps in communications.  I can use the settings notifications to keep in constant contact with my students and families on assignments, even when they are not sitting in front of me in class.

Topic #3:  Grading & returning assignments

I will admit that I do not always grade & return assignments as quickly as I would like. Using Google Classroom would not only shorten the length of time of providing grades and feedback, but it will streamline the process to the point that students and guardians will receive feedback quickly with relevance to the topic and assignment that we have been working on in class. ]]> 2018-12-01 17:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310078581 Sara https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310080557 Manage Class Settings:  I would use this to promote a forum for discussion about topics selected by me and those which are relevant to what we have been discussing in class by giving students access to post on the "stream" tab. I think this is a great way to get a large class discussion going.
Post Announcements: I would use this to post important announcements  regarding class assignments or events taking place in the school. I would also use it as a reminder of important dates coming up (ex: a book report was assigned in November and the due date is in December--I would post an announcement to be sure students remember that the due date is approaching).
Grade & Return Assignments: I would use this feature to monitor my students' progress (or lack there of). This seems like a good way to catch students who are struggling and get them back on task quickly. 

]]> 2018-12-01 17:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310080557 Zach https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310180736 I would use Inviting Students (by code) to have students add themselves to my Google Classroom. Since I teach all of the students in all grade levels (K-6), it's not totally feasible for me to manually do that myself.  Giving students that ownership is good.

Keeping students up-to-date by emailing is also very important so they know where they stand in relation to an assignment's status.  This is especially helpful to those who may be forgetful and need specific reminders when they didn't hand something in.

Finally, keeping parents and guardians informed is key to helping students be successful. In our district, it seems that phone numbers come and go, but an email address may be a reliable constant. Easily keeping them informed about their child's progress is very important.]]> 2018-12-02 16:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310180736 Andy https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310218448  I would use the individual assignment tool to differentiate my instruction. It would be a huge benefit to use the tool and differentiate at the same time. I would also use the code for students to sign up simply because I teach 100 students. Lastly I would providing student feedback to all their assignments. ]]> 2018-12-02 20:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310218448 Feedback: I would provide feedback on work posted on classroom so students may improve or make corrections on their work on a timely basis. Duncan https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310245791 2018-12-03 00:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310245791 Assignment Tool: Providing assignments on Google Classroom is a very efficient way to provide work to all students. Students who are even absent will have access to wok posted on classroom. Duncan https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310246059 2018-12-03 00:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310246059 Guardian Access tool: Now student parents and guardians can play an active role in their child's education as well as get immediate feedback as to how their child is doing without even having to pick up the phone. Duncan https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310246338 2018-12-03 00:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310246338 Jen https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310251979 I would use the e-mailing guardian feature.  I like the idea that an e-mail can be sent to the parents to let them know about their child's assignments and when they are due.

I would also use the tips for using forms of quizzes in the classroom.  I like how you can write a customized message before the students take the test.  I think that's a great way to give the students reminders before they start the quiz.

I would also use the set up your notifications feature.  I like how it can be linked to my e-mail so I don't miss anything. 

]]> 2018-12-03 01:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310251979 Melissa Rodriguez https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/310712432
Post announcements- I am currently using this feature to post upcoming assignments. I am posting everyday to google classroom. This includes lesson plans, activities, assignments, worksheet attachments, and links. This was created for students who are absent or in class that need a review of lesson. Students can go back to any date and are held accountable for their work. 

Emailing and Inviting Parents- I think getting parents involved in their child's work is very important. With this, they are aware of assignments, what is getting turned in and what their grades are. It also allows parents to email teachers if any questions arise. 

Google Forms and Importing Grades- I like using google forms as an exit ticket. When students are working in google classroom i like to have something for them to complete at the end. I don't post the form until the end so that it is truly completed once work is done. I then like the feature of importing grades so that i can see all of the answers on one grid.

Adding guardians to email summaries: Having guardian access to classrooms will allow for them to  understand what is being taught during Speech and support carryover. This will also allow to another communication outlet.

Give feedback on assignments: Students thrive off knowing what they are doing well with or what they need more support with. Giving feedback in these streams and assignments allow for privacy between students and a more personalized space.

I just used this to turn off emails being sent every time a student makes a comment.  That was cluttering my inbox.

Archive Class:
I didn't realize the class would still show up on my old students page. I can archive the class and still have access to the work in the future.

Organize Classwork page:
I use topics as subjects so students know where to go look for assignments according to subject.]]> 2018-12-05 03:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311216995 Katharine https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311568765
I use the inviting guardian features to add parents to the classroom. I like that this allows them to see what we are doing on the day to day basis and also allows them to keep track of their students work. 

I like the archive classrooms feature because every year we tend to teach different levels of classes (for instance one year I can be teaching environmental science but then not teach it again for 2 years.) By being able to archive classes I can save the content and assignments to reuse. 

I love using the grading and returning feature because students get direct and immediate feedback. This feedback is also saved on their document so they can refer back to it. When grades and feedback are given on paper, they barely look at it and it often ends up in the trash. This feature allows them to read it, go back to it, and ask for understanding if needed.

Add A Student: There was a student added to my class, instead of creating a while new class, I could add him to the existing class.

Set up notifications: If I am waiting for students to turn in work, I can set notifications so I am alerted when assignments are turned in.]]> 2018-12-05 22:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311620819 Julie https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311639661  three features in Google Classroom  

I've used the archive class function to delete classes from years past. Add a student helps as I often take small groups and I can add a student to my group for just that day. Set up notifications helps in two ways, when waiting for assignments to come in, you can see instantly. But turning notifications off can help to keep my mailbox tidy.]]> 2018-12-06 00:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311639661 Victoria Email students https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311646135 I work with young adult students who would like direct comments and a 2 way forum to discuss assignments with me.
Give Feed back
Again my students are "Discouraged Learners"  who often lack the confidence in their own abilities. personal feed back which is private will do much to build their confidence.
Grading and returning feature give quick feedback and allows students to work at their own pace.]]> 2018-12-06 01:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311646135 Michael https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311661399 1.)  Organize classwork page.  I like the ability to reorder the topics.  This will help me next year when I teach this again.  
2.)  Email Guardian.   I really like that I can add guardians to receive emails automatically.  This is great and I can manage this easily, with an on off switch.
3.) Grade and Return. Is great, no papers to pass out and the students can't loose it.    ]]> 2018-12-06 02:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311661399 Robert https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/311747843
I just used the copy a class to duplicate a class that a coworker made. Now I can adapt the structure she used to make my own class without messing up hers.

I could use notifications to let students know when the art major projects are due and when we are having shows.

I want to use the google forms quizzes to make multiple choice vocabulary quizzes that grade themselves. I've seen a colleague use this and I love the instant feedback for the student and the teacher. The form grades the test way faster than I could and keeps a record.

Using guardian email could be a great way to keep parents informed, and to put some ownership on the parents as well to keep up with their student.
Grading and returning assignments, and giving feedback through Google may insure students actually see the grade and feedback. With the privacy they may take the time to look at it as others won't be looking at the paper. Plus this way there aren't a ton of papers to pass back - many of which are thrown out without being looked at.]]> 2018-12-06 22:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312068552 Sean https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312082158 I definately love using Google Docs and slides, can ujse them for my Science projects and for my Vocab Quizes in Google Classroom.

I also love to use the notifications to let my students know when assignments are due, especially projects.

Grade and Return- Its great because no papers and also it is great to show parents for parent teacher conferences]]> 2018-12-07 00:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312082158 Kadya https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312734146 Setting up notifications will keep students informed on any updates I may have on assignments and vice versa. 
I like the option of being able to email guardians. Keeping parents informed is the collaborative effort needed to ensure students success.
Being able to grade and return assignments ensures that students are completing and handing in their assignments. Also graded assignments are stored in a secure location decreasing the chance of them being misplaced.

I would also set the students emails to receive notifications if they did not complete a requested task. I would also invite guardians to also receive my weekly post so they would also be informed as to what is happening in the Counseling Department.]]> 2018-12-10 02:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312754787 Jessica https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312839038 Emailing Students: I would use this feature to give the students information about upcoming assignments, or even missing assignments. I liked that you could email the students in 3 categories. I don't have to send a reminder email out to all students I can send one out to the students that haven't turned in their work yet.

Import Grades: I was not completely sure how to import grades yet and reading through this helped me to figure it out. I tis a shame that it's all or nothing, but I'm sure google will update that soon.

Tips for Forms as quizzes: I was not a fan of forms because if the student leaves it they cannot get back into it, but as a survey or a quiz it woud be perfect. Especially if it was short. ]]> 2018-12-10 10:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/312839038 Ira https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313217920 I have several classes that have the same curriculum.

Reusing an assignment is helpful. Doing so saves time from having to upload the files numerous times.]]> 2018-12-11 00:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313218371 Rosa https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313218901 I would use the following features in Google Classroom with my students.
Add topics: We are in the process of adding more books to our new library. And by using this feature, I can have a mini forum to discuss books they would like to see in the library.  I would also use it to put some of the library skills we've worked on so they can review them.
Post announcements: I would use this feature to post the book titles and covers of new books that are available for checkout. I would also include class codes for reading apps used in the library.  In addition, using the feature to inform students regarding schedule changes or meetings in the library.
Set student post and sharing permissions: I am thinking of creating a page when students can post their reviews of the books they read. It will be a project for individual classes. Students can write a short review of books and give their opinion on how they enjoyed it or not. By setting student post and permissions, I can monitor the conversations and comments. The purpose will be for practicing writing and discussing books with peers.]]> 2018-12-11 00:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313218901 Marc Kresge 20069001 https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313656634 1- Reusing Assignment
I will use this option to add work that I've posted in other years or in a different class. I like that I can take an assignment and update it as a great opportunity for differentiation or to reteach. It could also be used if a lot of students missed an assignment or for Final Review. 
2-Email Summary
This is a great option for parent communication. I have a lot of students and it is hard to connect with them all. This feature is a wonderful way to facilitate a dialogue that will improve student success.
3-Add Quiz
This a great way to determine if the Learning Target is met and as a tool for enrichment and reteaching. It would also serve as a good pretest to see how much the students know and then track growth if I use it as a post test.]]> 2018-12-11 22:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313656634 Tim https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313657449 I looked at all of the communication features. I would use these features to keep parents in the loop in terms of how their students are doing and what's going on in the class as a whole. I do wish parent emails could be populated for me. I have roughly 115 students this year and it would be a pain to enter each one of their parents' email addresses. ]]> 2018-12-11 22:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313657449 Aaron https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313661939 View Archived Classes: I use this when I have created templates for assignments and wish to post them in a similar way that worked in the past.

Post Announcements: I post announcements when students create a graphic organizer or note sheet that other students should see or have access to.

Using Form Quizzes: I use this feature when gathering assessment data and letting students get immediate assessment feedback.]]> 2018-12-11 23:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313661939 Jennifer https://padlet.com/itpd/u86e1mbfdjbz/wish/313676369 Using Form Quizzes & Importing the Grades

I will like using this feature for gauging what levels of learning my students are achieving in order to continue building on the lesson for greater comprehension, application or to reteach concepts, for students to relate better to the materials. This will be an awesome evaluation tool for all of us, student and teacher.

Student Post & Sharing Permissions
This feature will allow students to help each other by providing a platform for them to collaborate with questions, ideas and information. I believe there are times when we all can and will learn from each other in the classroom.

Give Feedback on Assignments
The ability for students to know where they stand in their educational processes is empowering, builds levels of maturity and accountability. I will use this feature to assist my student’s growth as independent learners. 

Lastly, I like the fact that I can use all of these feature from Google Classroom from my phone!
