Google Classroom Tips for Remote Learning
1. Collaborate with other teachers for a consistent workflow
Avoid sending students to different websites and locations to get assignments and communication. If you are all using Google Classroom, use it consistently. Make Google Classroom your one-stop-shop for assignments, announcements, and communication.
For elementary, this may be an all-subject checklist. In secondary, this is most likely by subject.
How you create your checklist is up to you. This could be a simple Google Doc list, a Google Sheet, added to a Google Slide, or just listed in the assignment. Keep things simple as it will be easier for you, your students, and your parents.
3. Use a Weekly Topic to Organize Your Assignments
Create a topic for the week, like “Weekly Assignments Due Aug 7,” to also make it clear when these assignments are due.
4. Create a “Resources and Tutorials Topic” and Keep it at the Top of the Classwork Page
As you try to assist students and parents at home, you may find yourself sharing and creating tutorials, cheat sheets, and other resources. Make these easy to find by creating a special topic and keeping that topic at the top of the page.
Tip: Click-and-drag to move topics around and organize the Classwork page. I would suggest keeping the resource topic at the top, and the weekly assignments topic for the current week in the number two spot.
5. Differentiate Assignments
When you create an assignment in Google Classroom, you have the option to select “All Students,” or you can just click the drop-down and select one student or a group of students.
This comes in handy for modifications as we are trying to meet the needs of all learners.
6. Bookmark the Classwork Page
This Google Classroom tip can save you time! Sometimes, navigation in Google Classroom can be frustrating and take a few too many clicks to get where you want to go. Since the majority of your time will be spent on the Classwork page, I recommend bookmarking it.
In Google Chrome, you can add it to your bookmarks bar for quick access.
To enable the bookmarks bar, click the 3 dots near the top-right in Chrome, then select bookmarks, and make sure the bookmarks bar is enabled.
Go to the Classwork page for the class you wish to bookmark.
Then you can simply click-and-drag the lock next to the URL in the Omnibox to add the bookmark to your bar.
Classwork bookmark.mov7. Use Keyboard Shortcut: Cntrl + F to Find Numbers and Words in Classroom
Even the most organized Classwork page can become quite long after a few weeks of assignments. Use the keyboard shortcut, Control + F (Command + F on a mac), to search for keywords or assignment numbers on the page. Teach students this trick, too!
8. Reuse a Post
You can reuse an announcement, assignment, or question from a class. When you reuse a post, you can:
Use it in the original class or in a different class.
Make copies of any attachments, including rubrics, or add new ones.
Modify the post before you publish it.
