Classroom Split & Gradebook Split: Helpful Chrome Extensions To Use With Google Classroom
Classroom Split Chrome extension is for students to help them view Google Classroom directions side by side with their work. The extension pushes the windows of work a student is doing to the left and opens up the assignments page in Google Classroom for the student.
Gradebook Split Chrome extension allows teachers to insert their online gradebook web address and have it automatically open up side by side with Google Classroom. When grading student work that is digital, the challenge can be efficiently entering feedback and scores into the gradebook. The trick to entering feedback and scores into the online gradebook is to have 2 windows side by side. Student work on the left, your gradebook on the right.
