Session Presenter: Julie Barker - High School Science Teacher, Google Educator
Session Description: In this session, CPS parents will be introduced to the course management system called Google Classroom. This tool helps teachers manage many aspects of their coursework as they are able to create classes, distribute assignments, grade and send feedback, and see everything in one place. The presenter will provide a virtual walk-through of Google Classroom and demonstrate its capabilities and features. Although parents do not have their own access to Google Classroom on a daily basis like the students, they are able to be invited to receive weekly updates via email if the teacher chooses to allow the Guardian Summaries feature. Parents will be shown a sample weekly report and how to maintain preferences for those summaries.
