The Google Classroom App

STUDENTS:

This is a great option if you may not have home wi-fi, but have access to a smart phone on virtual days. You can access, complete, & submit your assignments from an Android or iOs phone via 3g or 4g.

TEACHERS:

The app also allows you to completely manage your Google Classroom from any Android or iOs device. You can create announcements, questions, & assignments, add files to posts, view assignments, grade assignments, & return assignments all from the app.
Also, grading on the app is much faster than on the web because you (or your students) can annotate directly on any pdf, image, doc, Sheet, or Slides!
