Bancroft Elementary

Google Classroom

"Chromebooks have brought new life to my classroom. We have a Google Classroom account and my students love it. We have assigned videos to watch at home and then require a written response, educational power points to watch, educational games to play, etc. So far, my students have used Google Drawing to make a cartoon strip about the water cycle, made several power points using Google Slides, have used made charts, spreadsheets, graphs, etc. They also do much of their writing through Google Docs which has allowed them to share and collaborate with the teacher and one writing partner. We take the Chromebooks out at the beginning of the day and don't put them away until dismissal."
