Technology Adventures With Beverly
September 18, 2017 The Google Classroom Edition
FWISD Look For: "Students use personalized technology to produce as well as consume."
In this week's newsletter, I will be showing you different ways to use Google Classroom with your students. Google Classroom is a great Learning Management System option for elementary students because elementary students do not have accounts in itslearning.com.
Also, Google classroom will help you become more "green" and reduce your need for Xerox copies.
Once you have an opportunity to explore Google Classroom, let's get together and talk about training options.
Before we get to Google Classroom, just a few things!
Congratulations to Jennifer Malone at Lowery Road ES!
Thank you to all the participants and be on the lookout for the next digital breakout coming in a few weeks.
We are Still Taking Auditions for Tech Idol
Google Classroom Examples
I have created some sample classrooms in Google Classroom that you can enroll in and explore.
These examples were created using my regular Gmail account for training purposes only.
You CANNOT use Google Classrooms created with your regular Gmail with students. When you are ready to create your Google Classrooms for student use, you will use your FWISD Google account.
When you log in to my classes, it is very important that you SELECT TEACHER. You will still be a student in the class.
You will want to select TEACHER so you will be able to create sample classes that you can practice with later.
Once again, we can’t use Google Classrooms set up with regular Google with students, only for training with adults.
Go to classroom.google.com and log in with your regular Gmail account. Read and accept the agreement that you are not using your regular Gmail with students. SELECT TEACHER!
Click the + (plus) sign to join a class and enter the code of the class you would like to join.
You can enroll and participate in multiple classes.
