Example:
In my Google Classroom, I sent a welcome announcement to my future class. After I connect them (students and parents) from their email, they will be able to view and/or comment with thoughts or questions. I also created my first assignment for students to complete on their zones of regulation. They would click on the link and complete their own form on how they are feeling.
