The White River School District provides Google Classroom to all teachers and students as part of the online Google Education (GSuite) account. GSuite includes other Google applications such as word processing documents, presentation slides, spreadsheets, and forms.
Teachers use these applications with Google Classroom. For example, a teacher can create a Google slide deck and assign copies of it to students through Google Classroom. Students can click on the slide deck in Google Classroom, type on it to complete the assignment, and turn it into the teacher. The teacher can then review the work and provide feedback through typing or audio recording. Assignments in Google Classroom may also include links to other district provided online applications.
In summary, the main purpose of Google Classroom for students in grades 2nd-12th is for assignments to be posted and collected online. In grades PS -1st, Google Classroom is used to post resources for families.
