Google made some changes to Google Classroom just in time for the new school year.

New features:

• New Classwork page—Teachers and students have a new Classwork page. Teachers can post assignments and questions on the page, as well as group them into modules with topics.

• New grading tool in Classroom—Teachers have a new grading tool where they can switch between grades, student submissions, and comments while grading and save common feedback in a comment bank to use later.

• New People page—Teachers can view class member information on the People page. Teachers can also invite and remove students, co-teachers, and guardians on the page.

• New Settings page—Teachers can edit the class description, change the class code, manage guardian summaries, and control Stream settings on a consolidated Settings page.

• Copy a class—Teachers can copy classwork and topics from an existing class to create a new class.

• Control notifications by class—Teachers and students can turn notifications off for any class.

• Change grades—Teachers can change grade point values when creating or editing assignments or questions.

• See updates—Teachers and students can see updated labels (assigned, turned in, graded) for the status of a student’s work.
