Aeries Integration

The Aeries/Google Classroom integration allows you to create your classes straight from Aeries, or if you have already created your class in Google Classroom, you can link your Google Classroom class to Aeries. Once your Google Classroom is linked to Aeries, new students will automatically be added to your Google Classroom classes and you can push grades from Google Classroom to Aeries Gradebook!

Interactive Questions for YouTube Videos in Google Classroom

You can now turn any YouTube video into an interactive lesson by adding questions for students to answer throughout the video. 


The interactive questions feature turns a passive watching experience into an engaging one, and improves students’ understanding of a subject by providing them with the space to make mistakes, review incorrect answers and assess correct answers at their own pace. 


Once students within a class have completed the video activity, educators will have access to a dashboard of key insights based on student engagement levels. Check out this help article for more information and watch the video below to see it in action!

Practice Sets

Practice Sets allow teachers to create interactive assignments and provides students with real-time feedback. As you add questions to the practice set, you’ll see suggestions for skills to focus on — like solving equations with decimals or writing thesis statements. Based on the skills selected, students will receive helpful hints if they get stuck. Through auto-generated insights, practice sets also help you quickly identify gaps in understanding at both the class and student level. Practice Sets can also be shared with other teachers so you can work collaboratively to create the best learning experiences for your students.

Here are some support resources to help you get the most out of Practice Sets:

Rubrics

Google Classroom Rubrics allow you to build, reuse, and import rubrics into Google Classroom assignments and grade student submissions using this rubric.


When you build the rubric within Classroom, you can set criteria (what you're evaluating) and levels (how students are progressing toward that criteria). You can choose to give points for each level or just use the rubric to provide feedback to students.


When you import a rubric from Google Sheets, you need to use a specific template so the criteria and levels import correctly, but creating rubrics in Sheets, easily allows you to share rubrics with colleagues

Originality Reports

Originality Reports allow teachers to quickly and easily assess the authenticity of student work. On any assignment in Google Classroom, you can turn on Originality Reports which allows students to run 3 reports for that assignment before they turn it in. Once students turn in their assignment, a new report will be run for teachers showing flagged passages.

Here are some support resources to help you get the most out of Originality Reports:

Guardian Email Summaries

In order to foster a strong home-school connection, Google Classroom has a feature called guardian email summaries that allows you to invite guardians to receive an email about their child's progress in Google Classroom. Once invited, guardians can choose to receive a daily or weekly email. They will only see the assignments that are due, not any work that was submitted and/or returned. The video below will walk you through the process and also show what steps guardians will take once they receive the email. There are also additional support resources beneath the video.

Understanding Archived Classes

For organizational purposes, it's important that students are only enrolled in Google Classroom classes for the current year. At the end of each school year, the district will archive all Google Classroom classes. As a teacher, you can still view and reuse content from any archived class. Here are some support resources to help you navigate your archived classes:
