Google Classroom helps educators create engaging learning experiences they can personalize, manage, and measure. In August, Google Classrooms are automatically generated based on the rosters and classes in Infinite Campus. Educators can seamlessly integrate Google Classroom with Infinite Campus to efficiently export assignments and grades. Google Classroom isn't exclusively for teachers; superintendents, principals, and curriculum coaches can leverage it to centralize staff communications, share announcements, coordinate schedules, manage documents, and provide resources for their team and other school personnel.
Here you'll find helpful videos to get you started with Google Classroom. From inviting guardians and viewing student summaries to understanding classroom analytics, these resources cover everything a new user needs to begin using Google Classroom with confidence.
In the People tab of Google Classroom, you can see everyone who is part of your class. This includes teachers and students. At the top, you'll see the list of teachers—this can include co-teachers who help manage the class. Below that, you'll find the list of students who have joined your class. This tab helps you manage the people in your classroom easily, all in one place.
The Classwork tab in Google Classroom is where you create and organize all of your assignments, questions, materials, and topics for your students. Think of it as the main space for sharing learning activities. You can post assignments with due dates, add links, videos, or files, and even create quizzes. From this tab, students can view and complete their work, and you can track who has turned things in and give feedback or grades. It keeps teaching and learning organized and in one place.
The Grades tab in Google Classroom is where you can see and manage student work and scores all in one place. You can quickly see who has turned in work, who is missing assignments, and what grades have been given. You can also enter or change grades directly in this tab. If you return work with feedback, it will show up here too. This tab makes it easy to track student progress and keep your grading organized.
