It's easy to monitor and keep track of group work inside a classroom, who is working, who is collaborating and interacting. But when the same work goes virtual or is completed outside of class it is hard to tell who contributed and who did not. That is until Classwork Zoom came along. Classwork Zoom uses the version history of the different Google applications to compile a report of who worked on, for how long, and what they did to give teachers an understanding of what is going on in the digital class. Created by a teacher it gives peace of mind to those virtual, flipped classroom, or outside of class assignments. Learn more or download the Classwork Zoom extension here.
