How to create your first class in Google Classroom.  Naming convention considerations and features.

Not my original hack - I'm sure I saw it somewhere else first - but here's an idea. Do you teach the same class in several different sections?  Make a "Master Class" template with the links, topics, general use handouts & expectations.  Then use the "Copy" feature to create as many as you need - simply change the name of the class and maintain the Master for future use.

Once you've created your "Master Class," copy and rename it as needed to create the sections / class periods / variations you need.  Streamline the process of setting up classes & maximize the tools you have to create the time you need!

Explore the settings available to teachers after creating a class.  Decisions to make include:  Meet link visibility, comment capabilities for students, and more!
