Google 102 Classroom Video Tip Sharing Board 3/27/19 by Instructional Technology https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d For each of the three topics you watched and tried in your Google Classroom, create 1 post answering how you would use each and why? (Make sure to add your first name) en-us 2019-03-27 12:51:15 UTC 2019-04-11 00:31:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Sample Post itpd https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/345667696 I would use the assign to individual students to differentiate assignments for my students.

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]]> 2019-03-27 12:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/345667696 Erik Deisinger https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/345955046 Copy a Class - The ability to copy class information and organization between different sections of the same class saves teacher time, and allows me to be more effective in my day to day practices.
Post Announcements  - The ability to get directions out to all my students, regardless of attendance, is helpful in keeping everyone moving forward and staying up to date.
Email Students - With parent and students phone numbers being unreliable, emailing students 121 accounts is a simple and effective way to push notifications out in situations that require it.

Especially as a student progresses and is working on  a new skill they can be added to a class as their skill level increases.

I would also use the notifications and like to track exactly how I am being notified of a student's work being completed.  

I would also use the feature to be able to email a guardian. It would be a good way to maintain contact with the guardians to ensure carryover of work and skills.

I would use the Guardian features to communicate with parents and send parents updates about students' progress.

I use the  classroom grading tool to regularly provide students with descriptive feedback that they use to revise their work.]]> 2019-04-01 20:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347392210 Carolynn Rinck https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347427296 I would use the notifications in order to track when my students submit and resubmit work that is assigned to them.  

I would use guardian emails in order to communicate what their student is working on in therapy that week and what carryover activities could be done at home.

I would use the announcement feature to post weekly or monthly themes that will correspond with therapy.]]> 2019-04-02 00:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347427296 Kellene https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347471623 I would use the archive feature. It is invaluable when you have been teaching the same grade for a while. You can organize and file lessons that you use each year. Although lessons always have to be tweaked depending on your student population, at least you will have them and all in one place. 

I would use the emailing feature to communicate with my students’ parents/guardians. It is a lot more convenient than phone calls, especially when many parents tend to change their cell numbers often, but not their email addresses. It will also make it easier when I have to send the same information to all of my parents at once. Emails help keep the lines of information open.

I would use all of the grading features. They each have a benefit that will help make my life as a teacher a lot easier. I especially like emailing students. It allows for private conversations.

For lower level ELLs it is difficult for them to find older links and assignments, unless they are moved to the top of the stream. Perhaps creating Topics could help them with this?

I would like to change my  Notifications to avoid getting an email any time a student makes changes to an assignment. My inbox is overloaded!

I would use the Reuse a Post feature to post assignments for different classes with the same assignment.]]> 2019-04-02 19:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347809427 Rita Agostinelli https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/347830751 There are a few class features that would be great to use with my UPK students and families: 1.) the Manage Class Settings for involving & inviting UPK families to know what their child is learning in a particular area of learning such as ELA and communicate with me regarding the carry-over they are seeing at home; 2.) Assign to Individual Students is important because there are many developmental levels of learning at the Pre-K level as well as in any grade level classroom and having this feature to send individualized directives to my parents as to how to help their child best with the assignment is quite helpful. 3.) Setting Notifications is another helpful feature so that I know when my parents have questions or their child has completed the assignment.

The most helpful Communication Features that I would use in my Pre-K classroom is 1.) Emailing Guardians and 2.) Inviting Guardians – both again are a great opportunity to engage my UPK families into their child’s learning and classroom when they may not have the opportunity to be physically involved within the classroom for various factors. 

Lastly Grading Features – UPK does not have a grading system but rather developmental levels of learning – each child varies - as such Giving Feedback on Assignments to parents with regard to their student’s developmental level and growth as quickly as possible is highly important to them to understand how their child is progressing and this feature would be a wonderful asset to our home/school connection in Pre-K.

Reuse A Post:  I think that this would be helpful because I have three classes and some assignments that I give them  multiple times during a week.  

Secondly, I would use Post Announcements:  I love to post information about upcoming events, tests, quizzes, or topics and this would help students stay informed. 

Finally, I love Google forms and now I know that I can use it to create easy to grade quizzes that will allow students to get quick feed back. ]]> 2019-04-06 20:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349183844 Lisa Oliver https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349344599 I would use Add Students to differentiate assignments for students by creating different class groups for different assignments.  I would also use this to add students from other third grade classes to engage in cooperative assignments.
I would use  the Grading and Returning feature by making a copy of the Google File to be able to review students' work and add comments while their work was in progress.
Adding parents and guardians would increase my ability to communicate with parents about assignments and grades.

I would use Grade & Return Assignments for leaving feedback.

I would use notifications to email with a parent/guardian.]]> 2019-04-09 00:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349750901 1. I would use add https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349759002 2019-04-09 01:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349759002 Stephanie Mros https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349760227 I will use the student codes to add students to my classroom.  Will be much easier than using e-mail.

I like the feature where I can turn of the students' ability to post on the main wall..

I also like the announcements that can be posted. I think that I will use this when I need to share links with the class to certain websites I would like to explore, but don't necessarily need to complete an assignment.]]> 2019-04-09 01:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349760227 Kelly Haugh https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349760772 1. Add topics to the classwork page.  when working within a module you can continue to add assignments.
2. Invite guardians to communicate and let parents know the HW assignments and skills being taught.
3. Grading feature for homework and end of module assessment.
This will provide an idea of student progress and achievement.]]> 2019-04-09 01:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/349760772 Jess Bates https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/350153365 1. I use the assign feature to differentiate for my SWD by giving them specific scaffolded assignments. 
2. I use the grading feature for all of their assignments as well as return so they know their current academic standing and how to improve. 
3. I use the reuse a post feature as I have multiple classes that are all working on the same assignment and it's easier to push out. ]]> 2019-04-09 22:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/350153365 Teresa Berardicurti https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/350219592 -I would use the email guardians feature to communicate with parents and let parents know the homework assignments and classroom activities.
-I would use the assign to individual students feature to differentiate instruction to use with my special education class. I would use the add student feature to create groups for different assignments.
-I would use the Grading features to review students work and add comments as they were working.

I also use Google Forms as quizzes and import the grades to quickly assess students on review concepts for bell work as I take attendance. Importing the grades saves me time and is very convenient.

Finally, I have just started using the email guardians feature to keep in better contact with families about their child's work and upcoming due dates. I find this to be convenient because so many people already have a google account in some form or fashion.]]> 2019-04-11 00:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/itpd/v7syhhcs2x4d/wish/350592820
