Here are some tips:

• Have your student show you their google classrooms

• Copy and paste the info for each class into a separate google doc or google slide to help organize it

  • Create a page or section for each class

• Questions to ask student about classwork

  • What did you do today?

  • Can you show the work your teacher gave you?

  • When is the classwork do?

  • Can you explain what you learned?
